valentines day at school

 sophia and i went to school on valentines day to take pictures of the kids' classes.  alaythia was so excited to have sophia with her in class.  she had decorated her valentine bag with both her and sophia's name on it.  i'd say this girl was pretty excited to be in her big sister's class!

we headed to isaiah's class next where the class was making cards for people in nursing homes.  i must say it was a pure joy to get to spend just a few minutes with these wonderful kids. watching all of their creativity and interactions with each other was such fun!  such care they took to make cards for those who maybe are forgotten and need love.  as they were ministering in this way, and using creativity, one student spontaneously broke out into the song, 'ancient of days'.  another joined in with their voice, as another walked to get a marker they added percussion.  it almost brought me tears!  being a bystander, watching them worship in action and in song...  i walked by another student and their card caught my eye.  i found this written on the inside:

i feel so priviledged to have my kids in this school.

isaiah class.

i love this picture...

so iconic with the crazy boys, proper girls,

chalkboard and flag.
