Easter ParTAY!

At our Easter party today, we had a PANCAKE MAKING PARADISE!

Thanks to all of the parents who supplied us with a WHOLE LOT OF TOPPINGS for our pancakes!

Some of us went a little overboard...

Chocolate chips, M&Ms, and sprinkles.....

Kelly looks PRETTY EXCITED to eat her pancakes!

And Gabriel is all ready to DIG IN!

The students even got to flip their own cakes!

We also made BIG crosses out of all different colors of paper.

All SMILES!

Mrs. Heck brought in a CROSS cookie cutter to use on our pancakes!

Yikes!

Wonderful Mrs. Heck! She helped coordinate SO many details for today and made it so special for all of us! A BIG THANK YOU to her for all of her HARD WORK!!

We ALL really enjoyed our pancake breakfast.

Next, we played a game called "Run to the Cross". The students had the different colored crosses scattered around the room and they had to choose one to stand on. If that color was called, they were out!

Here are the boys all crowded on ONE.

Thanks Mrs. Gaddy and Mrs. Peifer for coming in to help us today! We are so thankful for fabulous parents!

Next, the students had to put the colored crosses in an order that Mrs. Heck had chosen previously.

Mrs. Heck closed out the game with a few words on THE CROSS! She shared a powerful lesson on the symbolism of the cross and God's LOVE for us! What an AMAZING GOD to send his ONLY SON to die for US!  And then of course He did not stay dead, but He ROSE FROM THE GRAVE and conquered death!

Praise the Lord!!

Have a wonderful Easter break!

See you on Tuesday!
