Hello everyone!  This is your current-event-updater here telling you what's going on at LI BA.  This Wednesday we will be having an ornament contest.  Here's how it goes.  Each student is going to design his or her own personalized ornament.  I'm sure this will be both fun and interesting as well!  Also, on Thursday of this week we will have a high school and junior high holiday appetizer contest.  The entire school will get to taste and judge and vote for their favorites - should be a delicious day!

That's all for now!

Progressive Dinner photos

Hello again everyone – it’s Bernie telling you all of the events.  A couple of days ago, we had a progressive dinner.  All of the 7-12 graders stayed after school for it.  We all played ping-pong until it was time to go.  First, we went to the Graf’s house to have appetizers.  We had mini-hot dogs, mini-quesadillas, and French fries with cheese. Soon, we drove to the Johnston’s house to have salads, which I personally love salads!  Next, we went to the Albani’s house to have dinner.  We had chicken, potatoes, rolls, and green beans.  Also, we had a little chess tournament and I won two games!  I would like to tell you about the Bryant’s and the dessert they made for us, but if you really want to know about it, see Justin’s thoughts below!  So then, this is my humble report on our fun progressive dinner!

A lovely, innocent looking rope...

We had a great time at the Bryants! As soon as we got there, we saw a huge bonfire in the yard! We sang songs and had a delicious dessert, but the highlight of the evening was the rope climbing contest. We all decided to award Bro. Fryman as the Champion Rope Climber and only we know why! A special thank you to all the parents who had us over – we had a SPECTACULAR evening! Posted by Justin R.

MEGAN'S MUSINGS...

Hi viewers! Here's the latest news here at LIBA! The months of November and December are chock-full of exciting activities and projects that we're all looking forward to with great anticipation!

To start off, we're having a competition between the boys and girls to raise money for our traditional Thanksgiving fundraiser. This is to honor the senior saints and those who faithfully come to our church but who don't have family attending with them.

Which team will have the best school spirit ever this year? Come on everyone! Let's all give it our best!

Pow-wow

Recently, we had a pow-wow between Mrs. Graf's and Mrs. Pratnicki's classes. The kids in Mrs. Pratnicki's class LOVE pow-wows, especially when they get to voice their opinions!


A very suspicious teacher. Something must be wrong!

All ready for a pow-wow!

He made this face at me!!!

Madison telling what she saw.

VERY serious girls!!!

In the end, apologies were expressed and all was forgiven - another very successful pow-wow!

"Bella's Bits" - November!

November is a really great month of the year for so many reasons. For one thing, there are 5 birthdays in this month. Last month, all the people with birthdays in October bought pizza for all of the students to have for lunch. I am excited to see what all the people with birthdays in November are going to do! But one thing I don’t like as much is that the amount of daylight time that we have in one day is getting shorter. On Tuesday, the sun rose at 7:24 AM and set at 5:57 PM! I will be glad when the spring/summer season comes; then we’ll have more time to do outside activities. June 21st has the most amount of daylight in the whole year! The reason I like November is that this weekend, we will be turning our clocks back one hour, so that means we will have more time to sleep and do other things that we want to do. I am so glad I can go to a Christian school where our teachers put time and effort into telling us things like this.

LIBA Fall Festival!

The fall festival was a huge success! Let me tell you about it—some parents of the students were so kind and thoughtful that they decided to host a little festival for us. We were all so excited! Soon the day came and the parents provided a beautiful lunch of sloppy joes, chips and Texas sheet cake. Andrew cam in dressed as a clown and sprayed silly string at us! Soon we went outside and played many games. We played bean bag toss, quarter toss, three legged races, egg and spoon races and potato sack race. Also, we had to guess the amount of candy corn, which I won. A few days later, we had an apple pie sale and make $200.00 (which will go towards the Sr. Class trip next spring). I hope you like my first story. Thank you parents for making these days wonderful! - Bernie
