The 4th graders had a beautiful time at the zoo last week. I was able to join them on Friday, and had a wonderful time.
Earth Day
Earth Day is April 22 so we will talk about what we can do everyday to take care of God’s world. While taking care of God’s creation is something we talk about often, we will focus on how we can reduce what we use, reuse containers in creative ways and recycle what we can so it can be made into something else.
