OCTOBER 14

Great is Thy Faithfulness! What a special day yesterday was! There are no words to describe the glimpse of heaven that we all received when the children and grandparents together sang, "Oh How I Love Jesus!"Thank you for a great day....I went home thanking God for the love of grandparents. It was very obvious that all these special friends hold big places in the hearts of our students. 

"So I'll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all"
Don't forget that this upcoming week is a short week due to the CEA convention for teachers. There is no school this coming Thursday or Friday!
