Mrs. Fowler's Christmas wish

Dear all.
It was such a nice day at school. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your day at the park. All of us are blessed to have such a nice break from the schedule of lessons and to enjoy the season to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
I want to thank Mrs. Bhoi and Mrs. Batts that helped so much today. You were both angels!
The students always benefit from parents being "hands-on" in the classroom.
Thank you all too, for the precious gifts and "well wishes". Merry Christmas to each of you. I will see you in the New Year.

God bless,
Mrs. Fowler

" Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands,
Serve the Lord with gladness,
Come before Him with joyful singing,
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us , and not we ourselves,
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with Thanksgiving
And into His courts with praise,
Give thanks to Him and bless His name.

For the Lord is good,
His loving kindness is everlasting,
And His faithfulness endures to all generation.
