Good Afternoon,
*** May the Grace of God that passes all understanding be with you all !!!!
***This past Wednesday we celebrated Ash Wednesday in our Church and School. This is a time where we remember both where we came from and also to where we will return. The greatest blessing of all though, is that Christ came down to wash us clean and take us to join him in heaven when that time comes. Amen to this great sacrifice!!
***Field trip to Symphony—-it is my hope that the kids told you about our trip. I’m sure this was the first time for many kid to see a symphony and they did great. We listened to music that told the stories of Black History and the Underground Railroad. We even hear portrayals of Fredrick Douglas and Harriet Tubman, from a couple of speakers. Then we went and did an awesome scavenger hunt in the Art museum prepared by Kati Kleimola (Thanks Kati). The kids did a great job reading and researching and observing some wonderful art. Remember it is FREE to the public so take another trip to see for yourselves.
God’s Blessings,
Mr. Thacker

Please make sure that you are looking over the kids’ assignment notebooks and work. I am asking that you sign their assignment notebooks and they will show them to me each morning. This will help to make sure they are checking things over at home. This will also keep you involved with what we are going over in class. Together we will only be successful. Thanks in advance!!!
