Our class at the Walk-a-thon!

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, grandparents, parents, and friends sang together, "Great is they faithfulness, all I hath needed, thy hand has provided." Thank you for a great day....I went home thanking God for the love of grandparents and family friends. I watched as they different generations sat together and read through books. It was very obvious that all these special friends hold big places in the hearts of our students.

Take a peek at our pictures from special day with grandparents and friends!
