Happy New Year!
Reflection...It is a joy to look back and remember the good times, memories,  discussions, and to celebrate Christmas with family and friends.  It good to be back together with the explorers of grades three and four!   While our memories span a gap of but a few weeks we too have had great discussions again about our government and its role in citizens' lives as we prepare to learn the document about the Rights of Americans.  Those fundamental rights become so vivid when discussing the early colonies and early citizens.  We are so grateful to have the right to worship freely in this country and in our school. At Dearborn Christian School we study a world created by our God to cause us to ponder, to wonder, and to be in awe.  What a privilege!
