Sleigh Ride

Thanks so much to Billy's grandfather of Gold Leaf Carriages (http://www.goldleafcarriage.com/) who brought his horses, Kate and Pearl, down to Savannah to give us all a ride in a two-horse open sleigh!

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride...

In a two-horse open sleigh!

Our 2014 Thanksgiving Program

Thank you to everyone who helped make our Thanksgiving program so much fun.  We're thankful for you!

We're Getting Ready

We've been practicing for our Thanksgiving program and hope to see you all there on Tuesday, November 25, at 9:15.  Please bring your child to the classroom between 8:50 and 9:05, then head to the Sanctuary to get a good seat.  Our 4s are toward the left side of the altar (near Summer Breeze); our 3s are on the right side (near the parking lot); and when our 2s join us to perform, they are front and center!
