Dad Was Right

For our children, a wish
from one influential dad:
"Keep in Flight."

"Mom and I made fudge sauce, sugar spiced nuts, and Mexican wedding cake cookies over the weekend. It smells like Christmas at our house!" ~Maggie

Adverse weather can possibly result in school closings or cancellations of events scheduled in our community. Are you aware of a new, local option whereby individuals can be notified if the weather creates safety concerns?

Here's how you can get up-to-the-minute news. Simply text Unit10 or Unit20 to 72727;   doing so makes us eligible to receive emergency updates as they happen.  Standard texting rates do apply for getting this information.

This free service is made possible by local Lawrence County merchants. Thanks in advance for continuing to support the men and women whose businesses are making this possible.

Bill Powell from Sweet T's is coordinating the messaging and he pledges to promptly send out specific details related to school cancellations, as soon as he receives them. Thanks in advance for spreading the word to neighbors, friends, and family.

Sunday Thought

Whose Child is This?

"Whose child is this?" I asked one day

Seeing a little one out to play.

"Mine," said the parent with a tender smile

"Mine to keep a little while

To bathe his hands and comb his hair

To tell him what he is to wear

To prepare him that he may always be good

And each day do the things he should."

"Whose child is this?" I asked again
As the door opened and someone came in.
"Mine," said the teacher with the same tender smile
"Mine to keep for a little while

To teach how to be gentle and kind

To train and direct his dear little mind

To help him live by every rule

And get the best he can from school."

"Whose child is this?" I asked once more

Just as the little one entered the door.

"Ours," said the parent and the teacher as they smiled

And each took the hand of the little child

"Ours to love and train together

Ours this blessed task forever." ~Author Unknown
