Statistically speaking, a lot of people are happy for the coming of October.  In multiple surveys, people identify October as their favorite month.   There is a lot to like about October.  The leaves change color, the temperature reaches perfect bonfire weather, and it is cool enough to justify wearing a hoodie everywhere.  For other people October is their favorite month, not just because of the weather but because of the holiday.  For roughly 10% of Americans, Halloween is their favorite holiday.   There are a lot of people who see October as "Halloween month" and seek to spread the spooky festivities out for all thirty one days.  Unsurprisingly, the Venn diagram for people who love Halloween and love horror movies is almost a perfect circle.To read more  click here.

  Little Lights Preschool
 
    With Fall starting, we've been talking about how the weather changes with the seasons.  Halloween is on the minds of all the children.  They have already started deciding what costumes they'll be wearing to our party.
    They will be doing a variety of activities about Halloween and the colors black, white, and pink.
    Our preschoolers in the MWF classes will learn that God helps us do hard things through stories about David.  The T/TH classes will learn about Abraham and how God takes care of us.  There will be no preschool October 14-18 during Fall Break!
