Mrs Coon's Wax Museum
Students from Mrs Coon's Drama class put together a "wax museum" for our grades schoolers this week. Each student dressed as their character. After a grade school student "pressed the button" to activate the display (aka drama students), the display would go into motion and explain their character and their importance to history.
A Letter from Mr. Savage
Tis the Month Before Christmas
Tis the month before Christmas, we’re all going nuts;
With so much to do, there’s no ifs, ands or buts.
Buy presents, hang tree lights, pop card in the mail,
Send gift packs, thread popcorn, find turkeys on sale.
Decorations need stringing up all through the house.
And you haven’t a clue what to buy for your spouse.
School concerts, receptions, open houses with friends,
Long lineups, short tempers, tying up the loose ends.
With all our mad dashing, we’re reeling from shock;
Let’s stop for a minute and really take stock.
It’s crassly commercial, the cynical say;
If that’s true, that’s our fault – it’s us and not they.
Take time for yourself – though hard as that seems –
Enjoy your kid’s laughter, excitement and dreams.
Take a moment out now, don’t get overly riled,
Instead make an angel in the snow with your child.
The shortbread can wait, and so can the tree;
What’s important to feel is a child’s sense of glee.
The holidays aren’t about push, rush and shove;
They’re for friendship and sharing and family love.
Hear the bells, feel the warmth, light up with the glow
Of a message first sent to us so long ago:
Peace, love and goodwill, and hope burning bright.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
