Christmas at Mount Vernon

I love the Christmas season.   I love being with my family and friends.  I truly treasure that warm fuzzy feeling deep down in my heart.  It is there because of the true meaning of Christmas.  It is much more then presents, but one special gift that was born for each of us.  As you probably know by know I also love music.  So here are paired two of my favorite things, and I would love to invite you, your family and your friends to attend.  This is my music family and we will be presenting through song and scripture the love that Jesus has put into our hearts!

Lawson Thanksgiving Food Drive

The Thanksgiving food drive is going on right now.  I just walked passed our little drop off for Mrs. Searle's second grade and it is very bare.  The class did a math problem to see what we could come up with just a few cans to fill our space.  We found 3 different ways to solve the problem.  Can you find anymore?

The Heiskell School is hosting the Lawson Thanksgiving Food Drive.  There are thirteen students in Mrs. Searle's second grade class.  If each student and Mrs Searle brought two cans, how many cans would Mrs. Searle's class have donated?

Let's see if we can make this story problem a reality.  

More importantly, let's continue to work together to teach your child the joy of giving.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." 

John 3:16

Blast from the Past

Last week Augusta's Granddad picked her up in a very special car, his Hudson Hornet.  How special it was to see that bright yellow car come through the carpool line.
