God Bless Us Everyone!




...The oh, so famous last line of A Christmas Carol, spoken by none other than Tiny Tim. As we culminating this novel this week and seeing the play, as well as the movie on Friday, we certainly expect the lives of our scholars to be forever changed. We have focused on service, caring for others, and those that are less fortunate for the entire month. I plan on keeping these lessons fresh in the minds of the scholars as we go throughout the rest of the year. Our very best to you and yours this holiday season!

Our time has been busy and will continue to be through the holidays. Last Friday night we were at the Barnes and Nobel Book Fair performing duos for the crowd. Both were well done, and we are proud of the work these scholars have put forth in order to perform. This week we are finishing up service projects and getting ready for our party day on Friday. Please contact Mel Bloker if you're not sure what to bring or prepare.

We are going to be getting together over the break to finish up with one last service project on the 27th of December. We currently have 6 students and 2 adults attending the Feed my Starving Children project at Alpine Church in Layton on the 17th from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. If you would like to join us please feel free to drop an email, parents and scholars alike! We will then head to Mrs. Goers' house for pizza and scholars can be picked up by 7:30 that evening. If you need an address please consult your email.

Thank you all for all of your help with instructing your scholars and growing and stretching their abilities this year. So far we have learned much and will continue to strive for excellence in all we say and do!

Cheers!
Mrs. G

Enjoying our Elders!














The scholars had a pleasant visit this week with the elderly at Mountain View Retirement Home. We enjoyed playing checkers (getting beat severely by some) and playing Christmas music on the piano. The duo teams presented their pieces and we enjoyed fresh baked hot cookies. Thank you to all the moms who volunteered to get us there and back. Enjoy the photos!
