KWO - Key word outline
BIBLE/VIRTUES: Our classroom virtue this month is orderliness. Our God is a God of order. He delights in bringing order out of chaos! The school environment provideds many opportunitites to practice doing things in an orderly fashion, whether it be walking through the halls, taking turns during discussions, keeping track of assignments, or ordering our days in a way that allows us to be as productive as possible. As a school community, we will focus on forgiveness. As we reflect on Jesus's death and resurrection this month, we are reminded of the greatest example of what it means to forgive--and to be forgiven!

Song of Life
By Charles Mackay
A traveler on a dusty road Strewed acorns on the lea; And one took root and sprouted up, And grew into a tree. Love sought its shade at evening-time, To breathe its early vows; And Age was pleased, in heights of noon, To bask beneath its boughs. The dormouse loved its dangling twigs, The birds sweet music bore—It stood a glory in its place, A blessing evermore. A little spring had lost its way Amid the grass and fern; A passing stranger scooped a well Where weary men might turn. He walled it in, and hung with care A ladle on the brink; He thought not of the deed he did, But judged that Toil might drink. He passed again; and lo! the well, By summer never dried, Had cooled ten thousand parchéd tongues, And saved a life beside. A nameless man, amid the crowd That thronged the daily mart, Let fall a word of hope and love, Unstudied from the heart, A whisper on the tumult thrown, A transitory breath, It raised a brother from the dust, It saved a soul from death. O germ! O fount! O word of love! O thought at random cast! Ye were but little at the first, But mighty at the last. |
