Color Me A Second Grader!

Question of the Week?

What kind of energy does this picture illustrate?

Stanley In Shanksville, Pennsylvania At The 9/11 Crash Site! Stanley Was Given A Pin In Honor Of The Men And Women Who Lost Their Lives On September 11, 2001. The Pin Reads "Let's Roll" Remember The Heroes Of Flight 93.

Who knows? Maybe Stanley is a prospective Bulldog!

Flat Stanley vacations in France and Italy where he attended cooking school! He’s welcome to cook at my house anytime!

Thanks!

It is difficult to believe that November is already here. We just wanted to take this time to tell you how thankful we are to have the opportunity to work with your children. We certainly feel that it is a privilege!

Unfortunately, we become so busy that we forget to say “Thanks” for all that “You” do! At this “Thanksgiving Holiday”, it seems a perfect time to tell you how we appreciate you and your child!

                                                                                                          

                   May God Richly Bless You and Yours!

                                        Sandra Thurman and Mandy Ginn
