November 15th News and Notes

Second, Third, and Fourth Grade Thanksgiving Play - Wednesday, November 20th
Mrs. Begley was glad to have our second graders help her fill out her annual Thanksgiving Play with additional Pilgrims and Indians!  They have been working hard and are excited for their performance during our chapel this upcoming Wednesday. 

Religion
Memory Work for the Week of November 18th are lyrics to a song for our Christmas Musical entitled "Shout for Joy".  If you would like a source for the tunes of the songs, there is a You Tube video of a Baptist church's performance.  Just type "A Band of Shepherds" in the search window.

Tuesday (First and Second)
Shout!  Shout for joy, all creation.
Shout!  Shout for joy!
For when He comes, our promised one,
Everyone will shout for joy.

Thursday (First and Second)
The field of grass will stand.
The trees will clap their hands.
The mountains and meadows both will.

No Friday Memory for Second Grade due to their extra work on the Thanksgiving Play!
