What Are You Thankful For?
Written by Songbird =(<)>

As we are rapidly approaching Thanksgiving I wanted to ask not only students but also parents, and teachers what they are thankful for this holiday season.

“I'm thankful for my God. If you think about it, anything else that you would be thankful for (family, friends and such) God has blessed you with. I'm thankful for music, and that people have the ability to make music.” - @ l ; n @

“I am thankful for getting on the other side of cancer. I am thankful for Co-op!” - Anonymous

“I'm superbly thankful for my siblings and their amazing influence on me throughout my life, and the constant flow of respect in my family that goes in every direction. I am thankful for my parents sacrificing themselves to prove their love for me and my siblings by homeschooling us. I am thankful for my grandpa being able to live with my family in good health, being an anchor of encouraging love and wisdom for my whole family. I am thankful for Mrs. Fisher's unbelievable level of humility and talent when it comes to teaching music. I am also thankful for Mrs. Park and her incredible patience and care when teaching Phys. Ed. Most of all, however, I am thankful for the Lord taking the reigns in my life, and not allowing me to stray from Him but encouraging me to pursue a relationship with Him, which I intend to do with fervor all of my life.” -Anonymous

“I am thankful for intimacy in relationship with Christ. His sufficiency in all things, hope in all things, and the promise of victory for all who endure.” - Anonymous

“I'm thankful that God had opened up the door to Ethiopia. A few weeks ago I was able to go on a missions trip to my cousin's home country of Ethiopia. I made some amazing friends and had the most awesome experiences. That is what I'm most thankful for.” - Anonymous

“I am thankful for everyone of my children and how different they all are, but they still can get along. (most of the time!)” - Anonymous

“I am so thankful for my family and friends who are always there for me. I am thankful for Co-op and for all the amazing teachers and friends that I have met here. I am also thankful for my amazing church. But most of all I am thankful for my AMAZING God because without Him I would be nothing.” - Anonymous

“Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!”

Let's Talk Turkey
Written by Songbird

Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner I thought you all might enjoy reading some fun facts about turkeys! : )

1) Turkey is not only a traditional choice for Thanksgiving but also for Christmas!

2) Turkeys are native to North and Central America.

3) Domestic Turkeys cannot fly because they are bred and raised to be heavy so they can't take flight.

4) Wild turkeys can fly short distances at 55 miles per hour! They can run at speeds of 25 miles per hour!

5) Wild turkeys live in hardwood forests with grassy areas. They roost in trees.

6) About 45 millions turkeys are consumed every Thanksgiving. The average Thanksgiving turkey weighs about 15 pounds. Approximately 20 million turkeys are the main course at Christmas dinner.
