Perservance














Thanks so much Jose for the awesome picture!  Jose said that he took this picture to remind himself that Jesus will be coming back soon in the clouds. AMEN!

Today was picture day and it went really well.  Our students looked their best and had awesome smiles.  Tomorrow and the rest of the week is ITBS testing.  Please make sure they have a great breakfast and a book to read when they are done.

Starting next week we will begin reading logs.  Reading is such a fundamental tool to learning.  Please encourage your child to read every night.  Read to them, have them read to you, read as a family, etc...

Today we talked about perservance.  Diana Nyad, the 64 year-old who swam from Cuba to Florida gave us our quote for today, "Never, ever give up." You can watch her final strokes and encouraging words at http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/09/02/nyad-cuba-to-florida-swim/2755875/.

  1. Come quickly Lord. Come quickly.

    How did you know Jose that your teacher lives taking pictures of the clouds herself. Indeed they are mystical and wondrous. They remind me of the expanse of His loving arms...vast and all inclusive. That makes me want to never ever give up!
