LIBA Christmas Ornament Contest

 Hello - it's Bernie again.  Three days ago, the Christian Academy had an ornament contest.  There were so many creative ornaments that it was hard to choose which ones where the best!  Madison made a real gingerbread man which was coated with lacquer to make it last.  Megan made a silver sled with silver bells.  Brooke made a big, beautiful ornament out of red flowers and made them into a ball.  Everyone voted and the winners where announced.  Brooke, Megan, and Stephan where the winners!  Stephan's ornament was a glass bulb with a real live goldfish swimming around!  I guess everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit! I hope everyone will have a merry Christmas!  Bye for now, Bernie

Holiday Happenings! by Megan

Hello everyone!  We have some exciting upcoming events this week at LIBA.  On Tuesday, Dec. 14th, each student is baking two-dozen cookies and bringing them in to school.  Then every student gets to exchange their cookies among their classmates!

Also, on Wednesday of this week, all of the kids will bring in their favorite Christmas CD and we will listen to music while snacking on some old fashioned goodie bags.  And if that's not enough, we are also having an enjoyable breakfast on Thursday where we will be bringing in a beautifully wrapped Christmas ornament to exchange with another student!

All of these things just add so much fun and happiness to the school year!  We're grateful for all of these holiday happenings! posted by Megan

Hello everyone!  In our school, we have a thing that we do called, “If it’s raining it must be Monday.”  We have figured out that it has rained two Mondays of each moth so far since school started in September.  (Once it even snowed!)

On December 21st, the first day of winter, we are having a full moon.  A full moon has occurred only nine times on the first day of winter since 1783!  On that night, starting at about 1:15 a.m., we will also be having a lunar eclipse, when the earth’s shadow will be cast on the moon.  And on the 13th there will be a fantastic meteorite shower!  Thanks for reading, Bella

 Last week, the whole school stayed after school for a Christmas classroom decorating contest.  We had dinner at the school – my compliments to the chefs!  It was delicious!  We had baked ziti, salad, Italian bread, and brownie sundaes whi9le eating by candle light.  And on Sunday night, the whole church voted for the best room. We will find out Wednesday night who won and may the best class win!  Don’t forget, the winners go out to a great restaurant—The Good Steer—for lunch!  Yours for LIBA, Justin R.

Christian Academy Annual Thanksgiving Collection

About one week ago, we had a Thanksgiving program for a special group of people in our church.  We do this every year and are blessed to have such a goodly heritage in our lives.  We enjoy blessing that special group every year and that’s the least we can do for them.  We know how much they appreciate it because some of them even sent us thank you cards.  After looking around at all these good examples, I can surely say we do have a goodly heritage!  posted by Justin R. 

Hello, it’s Bernie writing all the current events in the Christian Academy.  Today, we finished our Christmas crafts.  Yesterday, the class mothers came in the fellowship hall after lunch to help us do our crafts.  The little kids made Christmas trees and the older kids made wreaths.  The little kids made their Christmas trees out of chocolate kisses and stars, while our group went outside to spray paint our wreaths.  Also, we are beginning to decorate our classes.  Our classroom is going to look the best and we are going to win!  Thank you everyone for supporting our blog.

The second pow-wow of the season...

Apologies made.

Uh oh...

It's really hard not to laugh!
