Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful that President Abraham Lincoln had the wisdom to recognize that we as a nation need to set aside a day to give thanks! In 1863 (more than 2 centuries after the first “thanksgiving” was celebrated), President Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.
In this economy, it may be difficult for some to focus in on how blessed we really are, but the reality is each and every one of us has so much to thank God for. With this in mind, I asked some of our students what they were thankful for regarding AVC. Here are some of their responses.
“That I’m learning to read and learning math” – 1st grade
“The mentorship that the teachers give us” – 12th grade
“We have teachers who care about us” – 4th grade
“The teachers care about me and not just about grades” – 12th grade
“The secretaries in the office” – 11th grade
“We get to listen to Christian music while we work” – Office Staff
“People are always in a good mood and friendly” – Foreign exchange student
“The Bible teaching is accurate” – 7th grade
“Being to talk with my American friends” – Foreign exchange student
“I’m so close with everyone” – Foreign exchange student
“For the smaller class sizes, so the teachers can give us one on one” – 8th
“A 4.0 is a low GPA for this school” – 12th
“Mr. Watson’s class” – 12th
“It’s more like a family at AVCS” – 8th
I encourage you to take time and talk with your family about what you are thankful for, including things at AVCS. Happy Thanksgiving!
