Disability Awareness
In Literature this week, we read a personal narrative of Helen Keller. and have begun viewing The Miracle Worker, the story of Helen's teacher Anne Sullivan. This article gave us an opportunity to discover and explore what is would be like to be "differently abled" through simulations of blindness, deafness, learning disabilities, and other impairments. You may have seen your child practicing sign language! With each activity, we are discussing how we can be a Christian friend and how we as a church body can help make the Gospel message more accessible to those who have an impairment. Look for pictures to come!
Brian Young: Creation
Creation expert, Brian Young, will be featured at Zion's Speaker Series Wednesday evening, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. and then talk to our JH students Thursday at 1 p.m. He will help answer questions that include the age of the earth, the flood, and dinosaurs. He will share the Biblical view of creation from a scientist's viewpoint and how we can keep our faith in a world that leans toward evolution in media and textbooks. Please consider attending one of the speaker sessions! (Note: Other schools have been invited to the Thursday event, so there may be balcony seating only.)
Reminder: Bring PE clothes Monday for Jump Rope for Heart!!
