A Few Short Sentences
On November 19, 1863, Abraham
Lincoln gave speech at Cemetery
Hill in Gettysburg which was only
ten sentences long. He said that
"these dead shall not have died in
vain - that this nation, under God,
shall have a new birth of freedom
- and that government of the
people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the
earth." This is known as the
Gettysburg Address.
This Address is quoted and
repeated by many since that
time. Freedom for the citizens of
the United States of America is
the focus and still needs to be
treasured today.
A few short sentences can be
spoken by us as we prepare for
the Annual Crusaders' Feast to
be held at the Metra on February
7. Invite others to come and
enjoy the feast. It only takes a
few words but these words can
go a long ways to celebrate this
acti vity of our school.
A few short words can also be
used to invite others to consider
attending our school. Word of
mouth is still the most powerful
invitation and incenti ve for others
to participate in our school.
A few short words is also what is
used to encourage each other.
Recently Henry Ford's words ring
in my ears. "If you think you can
or if you think you can't; you are
right."
We can do many things. A little
effort, courage and confidence
goes a long ways. We can work to
make our school known in our
*
'A C(assica( 'Acaaemy
community by what I say. We can
make the Annual Crusader Feast a
fantastic event with a little effort.
We can reflect on the fact the a few
short words also have impacted
our lives even though these were
delivered on November 18, 1863.
Carry these few short words with
you today. The Lord bless you and
keep you; the Lord make His face
to shine upon you and be gracious
to you; The Lord lift his
countenance upon you and give
you peace.

Mrs. Forke: 2nd & 3rd Grade
News:
The 3rd and 4th graders are a never
ending source of adventure. Each
day can find us seeking God's
truth through scripture, exploring
into the infinity of numbers,
deciphering relati ve pronouns
from demonstrative ones,
engaging in battles with Romans
and barbarians or experiencing
the thrust of motion on the
sledding hill.
You can see dancing skeletons in
our classroom. As we study
God's amazing human body, we
will learn some of the names of
the 206 bones; flex a few
muscles; awe at God's
miraculous development of life
from conception to birth; and be
reminded of good hygiene and
nutrition to keep our bodies
healthy.
You are welcome to join us in the
classroom for any of these
adventures in learning.
Mrs. Berst: 1 st & 2nd Grade
News:
Another quarter has flown by. We
did many fun activities preparing
for Christmas. We were able to
sing two different times for the
afternoon church service. We also
went caroling to several shut ins
and sang many of our
favorite Christmas carols.
