Spotlighting Students and Volunteers
A big thank you goes out to the Swartz
family for providing snacks this week! We
especially enjoyed eating the yogurt out-
side on a glorious fall day! The students
were taking in the sunshine and fellowship
with their classmates just as much as I was
that day! Thank you for graciously meeting
our need for snacks!
I also want to express my gratitude for
such supportive parents! It has been a
blessing to work with you this year, and I
am especially honored that so many of you
have shared the personal challenges going
on in your lives! Thank you for your
willingness to support me, encourage me,
and patiently work with me as I attempt to
stay on top of everything! You are a
blessing, and I’m so thankful for the
opportunity to teach your son or daughter!
