There has been a lot of people sick with the flu and whooping cough is going around town. People remember to sanitize over and over again. Prayers to Amiee Glover for a speedy recovery from her surgery; Betty Griffith, Montene Tarkinton, Brandon Clendenin, or any one else that lives in the community. Please send news and updated issues.
Check the flashing sign at the school for the upcoming events at school. Mark your calendar for Jan. 26, 2013, for the Annual Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Area 17 at Wooley Hollow State Park. It will be fun for every one!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas - the warm weather has allowed everyone to get out and do their decorating. I love the Christmas season, my favorite time of the year with all of the pretty lights. We do not want to get caught up in all of the decorations and shopping that we forget what Christmas is all about, the birth of our Lord and Saviour.
