President Abraham Lincoln, portrayed by Danny Russel, made a special appearance at the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church at Billie Creek Village on Wednesday, September 24.
The presenter talked to the fourth grade classes about his life as Abe Lincoln from boyhood through his presidency. He talked about his personal failures and not giving up. He had 20 different failures before he became president. Abe told the students, “Don’t quit. Don’t give up.”
He also talked about the importance of and his love of reading. He explained to the students that his mother taught him to read and write before she died. His ability to read helped him in many areas of his life from learning the stories of the Bible, to learning to become a lawyer and guiding his life as a President. He ended his talk by reciting the Gettysburg address which is his most famous speech.
Following Lincoln’s talk, the classes learned about Pioneer times from DeLisa Schelsky. She demonstrated how to make butter, discussed Pioneer clothing, and showed Pioneer items. The classes were able to walk around Billie Creek Village and toured the Farmhouse.
Parke Heritage Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) members joined other members from North Vermilion, South Vermilion, and Riverton Parke at the Fields of Faith event held at the South Vermillion football field on Wednesday, September 24.
Student leaders from each school presented testimonies and prayer. There was a worship band.
Parke Heritage senior Hallie Miller spoke to represent NCPC. Jarred Russell who is the Youth Director of the Faithbridge Assembly of God in Rockville was the keynote speaker.
There were approximately 300 in attendance.
Students in Mrs. Anna Lorenze’s sixth and seventh grade Reading and Literature classes just finished reading the book “Shiloh”. After reading the book, the students were given the task of creating a “Save Shiloh” campaign. Each group or individual had to create a persuasive poster and then were given choices for their second piece of campaign material. Groups chose to do the following: a brochure, flyer, social media posts, radio ad script - while two groups chose to create and record a commercial!
Students have three novels left to read this semester, “Hatchet”; “Number the Stars”; and “Prisoner B-3087”. After reading each of these, students will be given a project to go with the books.
Other books the students have read this year are “Weslandia” and “Dear Mr. Henshaw”. After reading “Weslandia” students created a brochure in which they created their own civilizations. They created a name and flag for their civilizations along with clothing, shelter, animals, plants, and a sporting game. When they completed “Dear Mr. Henshaw,” each student chose their favorite author and wrote a letter to them.
