Thank you all for the birthday treats and goodies. The kids really made my day! Here
are a few highlights of the week:
Our STUCO led a wonderful chapel reminding us to give thanks for the many talents and
gifts God gives us. Ask your kids about the “game show.” We gathered car loads of food
and STUCO delivered them to the seminary. We gave turkeys with all the fixings to families
that stayed on campus for the holiday and stocked their food pantry! Thank you for your
generosity!
Students are studying North America in S.S. and have brought home a “Family Roots”
project that I hope sparks some interest in learning family history. The class was instructed
that not all sections need to be complete as family dynamics and history vary. They will
use it to begin a peek into your family’s story and adapt as needed. They will turn this in
before Christmas.
Christmas art is also in full swing. 6th graders will display their nativities in the Jr. High
Christmas Art display in the church basement on Dec. 11. Watch for more info.
And don’t forget, our Advent service is the Wednesday we return, Dec. 3 at 10:00 a.m.
and 7 p.m. Our Religion lessons tie in nicely as we shift to our textbook and look at the
time between the Old and New Testament in preparation for the Messiah. We will get to
Jesus’ birth next week and follow his life over the next few months.
God's
blessings to you and your families this Thanksgiving time. I am so thankful
for each one of your children in my class this year. What a blessing
they are to me!
Thank you, parents, as well, for the support you give
to your children and to me.
I hope you enjoyed the holiday week with family and
friends!

5th and 6th Grade Advent Services
The songs are learned, dramas getting polished, and practices winding down;
preparations are nearly complete for our Advent Services on Wednesday. It is time
now for families to join in the preparation! The Advent season prepares us for the
coming of Christ. Please plan to join us for one of the services to hear the message
of how God works in our hearts to prepare us for his coming. Details about our
worship services are below. Blessings to your families this Advent season!
Thank you,
5th and 6th grade teachers
