May our sons in their youth be like plants that grow strong, May our daughters be like stately columns which adorn the corners of a palace.
Psalms 144:12

Parents and teachers are a very important part of Co-op. We couldn't have classes without teachers, and they put a lot of time and effort into teaching us and trying to make learning fun and interesting for us here at Co-op. We are also very grateful for the parents who help teach and do other various activities to help out in general at Co-op. We don't express how much we appreciate our teachers and parent helpers nearly as often as we should. So this is just to say thank you for everything you do for us and for simplu being so amazing! THANKS!!!!!
Movie Review: Tangled
Written by Songbird
The movie Tangled begins with the evil Mother Gothel who is growing very old. However, in her travels she finds a magic flower which can heal and keep her young forever. Selfishly wanting to stay young forever, Mother Gothel hides the flower keeping it to her self. One day the kingdom's queen is about to have a baby but she gets very sick. So the townspeople decided to search for the magic flower so it could heal the queen. When the townspeople find the flower, they take it to the queen and she becomes well and gives birth to a baby girl named Rapunzel. Growing old once again Mother Gothel searches for the magic flower to take it back as her own . However, while searching the castle, she finds that Rapunzel's hair now has the power that the flower once had. So Mother Gothel kidnaps the child and raises her as her own daughter in a tower far away from the castle. Rapunzel grew to be age eighteen thinking that she was Mother Gothel's daughter and never cut her hair because then the magic would be gone forever. On Rapunzels eighteenth birthday she tells Mother Gothel that she dreams of adventure and of seeing the flying lanterns which light the night sky every year on her birthday. Mother Gothel, desperate to stay young forever, tells Rapunzel of a horrible world outside of her tower to scare her. However, once day when Mother Gothel was away a young handsome thief named Flynn Ryder climbed into Rapunzel's tower which sets off a whole chain of events. Rapunzel hides his satchel from him and refuses to give it back until he takes her out of the tower to see the floating lanterns. A long journey begins, and throughout the story Rapunzel and Flynn/Eugene begin to fall in love. Rapunzel discovers that she is the lost princess, and that Mother Gothel only wanted her for her magic hair. Mother Gothel doesn't want to grow old, so she plans to take Rapunzel away with her forever and sets Flynn up to kill him. Rapunzel promises that she will willingly go with Mother Gothel if she was allowed to save Flynn's life but Flynn cuts Rapunzel's hair off before she can heal him so that Mother Gothel wouldn't want to take her away. And with one snip her hair is short and the magic is gone. Immediately, Mother Gothel begins to grow old againas soon as Rapunzel's hair is cut and she falls out of the tower. Flynn survives, and he and Rapunzel go and tell the King and Queen that she is the lost princess. Thw whole town rejoiced at the news of the princess's return, and Rapunzel and Flnn got married and lived happily every after. I couldn't wait to see the movie Tangled and saw it as soon as it came out in theaters. And I have to say that the movie did not let me down. It is a very funny romantic comedy with strong points that everyone should have a dream and pursue it. It's a very beautiful and well done movie which is sure to delight the whole family!
