Happy Thanksgiving!

This year, I have begun enjoying all that the role and responsibilities of elementary principal bring each day. As we await Thanksgiving I want to thank the Board of Education members for their willingness to allow me to move into the role of principal that I, for years, have been asking to do. It has been a pleasure to work with Dr. Steve Robinson, and I appreciate the leadership that he has brought to ACA since arriving July 1

Before we break for Thanksgiving I wish to share 12 things for which I'm grateful. 

T-he Lord has gone great things for us; and we are glad! Psalms 126:3
H-appiness is to know the Savior and living a life that's in His favor
A-ngels rejoiced last Friday when an elementary girl came to Christ at ACA
N-ew life is what Christ offers. I am thankful for His saving grace
K-ing of kings & Lord of lords, Jesus is who is taught at Ankeny Christian Academy
S-even Kindergarteners this month wrote how they were grateful 
G-ratitude,they learned, combats the desire to complain
I-have recruited the help of 17 6th graders for extra work who act as Council Kids
V-ery willing they have been as they demonstrate acts of service at school
I-ncredible work was experienced at Project Serve and 30,000+ meals will be sent
N-ever underestimate the work of hands demonstrated by children-they are powerful!
G-ratitude is a positive attitude, not only at Thanksgiving, but all year long!
