There's a new student at L.I.B.A.!!

A new student has entered our school this New Year... Madison! She is five-years-old and is, of course, starting in Mrs. Pratnicki's class. Yesterday was Maddie's very first day wearing our school's uniform. She looks so cute! I hope Madison has some really great years here at Long Island Baptist Academy just as we have.

WELCOME MADDIE!

Yours for L.I.B.A. Cliff,

Happy 2010!

Happy New Year from Long Island Baptist Academy! As all of us know, it’s the year of 2010, or twenty-ten or 2-0-1-0, however you prefer. One discussion we have in our school is, “How would you say this year’s name?” Please tell us what you think and vote in our poll located to the right of this post.

Now in this New Year I’m going to tell what some of the kids in Mrs. Graf’s class did for Christmas break activities:

Bernie, Shayna, Grace, and Johnny – Went to New York City to see the Nutcracker play and also saw the tree in Rockefeller Center.
Marky – Went to the Nets vs. Cavaliers game
Marcus – Went and saw the tree and then stopped at the oldest deli in New York City called Kat’s Deli. This deli is 120 years old!
Noel and Justin – Went and saw the tree and then stopped at a famous BBQ place called Dallas BBQ.

In closing this New Year post, I would like to share some of the Junior/Senior High’s New Year resolutions. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for reading.

Yours for LIBA Cliff,
Tyler

Girls will be girls!

Several of the girls in our Christian academy are the happy owners of their very own American Girl dolls! Today, all of them (girls and dolls!) gathered in the nursery to share the fun! Here's Bella with her doll and all the lovely clothes her grandmother made by hand! Bella graciously shared all of them with the other girls. Thank you Bella!

This is just a small sampling of the different outfits and accessories the girls brought to school...

Emily with her beautiful doll Alexandra. They look alike, don't you think so too?!

Gracie with the doll she named Elizabeth... sometimes Gracie wears ponytails just like Elizabeth's!

Brooke with Rebecca, a doll named for a Russian Jewish girl growing up in New York City in 1914. Brooke's doll is part of the American Girl historical series of dolls. She has quite an interesting life story.

Madison with Kirsten, a brave pioneer girl growing up in America in 1854. Madison's Pop gave her this special doll for a Christmas present. Kirsten has been discontinued and Madison is so happy to have her! Madison enjoys American history, even at the age of five.

Ann with her doll named Gwen and Shayna with Kit - a girl who grew up during the Great Depression. Ann and Shayna take very good care of their dolls.

A pair of sandals found on Gwen, Ann's doll...

And a table full of clothes!

American girls (and dolls!) are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for!
