This week at a glance:

We had a beautiful Family Time on Monday when the 6th graders along with Miss Barrett and Mr. VerMerris led us in praising and celebrating God's creation.  Mr. VerMerris told a wonderful and insightful story entitled "Tommy's Sailboat".  This story illustrated how much God loves each of us and how He cares for His creation.
