We have a very short week! We will not have a letter of the week because of the short week. I want to wish all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy being with family and friends!

Please continue praying for Rhyan, her family and the medical team. We really enjoyed having Rhyan back in class for three days this past week! She was admitted back to the hospital on Thursday evening with mild case of pneumonia.

All the kids have been just amazing in class supporting Rhyan! Making cards, drawing pictures, praying and just treating Rhyan like a superstar and a friend, showing the natural love that kids have!
