Hello Parents,
Before
you head off on your Thanksgiving break, I would like to share with you a few
thoughts of mine. Each and every one of you are special to me, and I am
grateful you are here and a part of the EHCS family. There is nothing like a
community that sticks together and shows the loving-kindness that you all show
each day. What a tremendous blessing God has given us in allowing us to attend,
work, and be in a Christian school. In saying all that, here are my
Thanksgiving sentiments; take them for what they are worth! I love and
appreciate you all!
A
week from today, millions of Americans from every type of background will come
together with family and friends to eat and count their many blessings. I have
heard it said many times that to receive a gift and say, “thank you,” is one of
the noblest things we can do. There is nothing small or trivial about it. To
say “Thank you” is to acknowledge that we have been given something we did not
earn and do not deserve. Happy is the person who understands that all of life
is a gift from God and that life itself is the ultimate gift. This is why the
Bible says, “In everything give thanks.” (I Thessalonians 5:18)
When we can’t do anything else, we can always be grateful.
As
one of the church songs says, “Count your many blessings; name them one by one,
and it will surprise you what the Lord has done.” The surprise is not just in
the outward material blessings of the past year. It is also in the times of
pain and suffering, which seemed to be for no good purpose but turned out to be
blessings in disguise. That, too, is the goodness and grace of God.
Thanksgiving
is only seven days away, and we ought to be the most thankful people on the
face of the earth. May our days be marked with humility, simplicity, and
integrity. Let us be thankful not only for the things we have, but also for the
things we no longer need to have. Let the people of God hope in the Lord, both
now and forever. Have a blessed time off with friends and family. Don't forget
what the holiday is all about, and make sure you thank the good Lord for his
many blessings! I will miss you! HAPPY THANKSGIVING, FRIENDS!
Today our 2nd – grade friends led us in
chapel! They did an outstanding job, and truly, there is nothing sweeter than
seeing God work through them as they shared God's word to us this morning!

Message from Mrs. Bebout:
Dear
Parents,
Book
Fair time is just around the corner. (December 3-7, with set up on November 30)
As we begin making preparations, we know we will be able to count on many of
you to lend us a helping hand. If you are willing to volunteer your time to
work at the Book Fair, please click the link 2012 EHCS Book Fair Volunteer Spreadsheet and
sign up for a time slot. I would appreciate parents of any student Pre-K3
through Seniors helping us! Books for children through adults will be available
at the Book Fair. Even if you can't volunteer to help, we would love to see you
shop at the fair that will be located in the elementary library. All profits
will benefit the campus libraries!
Sincerely,
Peggy

P.S.
This year’s theme is "All-Star" book fair. In order to get everyone
excited about the upcoming fair, we are going to have a dress up day. On
Friday, November 30, students may wear their favorite sports team jersey or
shirt with jeans. Of course, EHCS attire can be a favorite sports team as well!
Kindergarten teachers would like share about their field trips:
Pow-Wow Write-Up:
Celebrating
brotherhood, heritage, song and dance, the three kindergarten classes circled
and danced and sang songs Tuesday during their annual Pow-Wow.
The children wore headbands, necklaces, and paper vests they made and also carried drums and tomahawks. With the drums they built themselves, the students added their own music to the pow wow. A great time was had by all.

Mansker’s Station
Write Up:
Wednesday, November 14,

1779 frontier forted station. While at the fort, we experienced the lifestyles
