9 October 2020

Good morning Moms and Dads,

Thank you to all of the Parents who wished our Teachers a happy Teacher’s Day this week…

What a wonderful feeling to be so appreciated!

As the first rains fall, let this be to us a reminder that every season in our lives brings about something new and beautiful. Even a rainbow…

Looking out over the grey and rain-filled skies, after days of gloom and doom, a light shines through the clouds. Beams of sunlight move through the drops of rain that remain, creating an arc from one end of the horizon to the other. The light projects the weary sailor’s gaze forward. The rain bows across the sky. It is an arc of brilliance, majestic in its hold of the heavens from one end to the other. It is the promise of One who created light and rain, dry earth and sea. It is the promise that though there will be storms, hardships, trials and disasters, the promise of God’s presence, God’s love, God’s care, and God’s companionship on the journey will not change.

The rainbow promise holds fast as the Light guides us forward.

Thanks be to God.

Welcome back to Alice and Ruben, we are so glad to have to with us again!

The children have enjoyed a wide range of activities this week including cutting, threading, puzzles, playdough, stories, and lots of gross motor! Here are just a few of their beautiful pictures.

An interesting read for Parents on the Dexterity Tweezer (Age 4+) that we use here at school, also a wonderful investment for home.
