School Prayer
Oh God, creator of the universe, You hold each of us in the palm of Your hand. Extend to each member of the Villa community an awareness of your presence, your healing, and your peace. Help us to love and respect one another, to develop our gifts to the best of our abilities, and to use those gifts in the service of others. Help us work together to grow into mature Christian people. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Your son, and our brother. Amen.
Pledge of Allegiance
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Dear Students,
Cooler weather has arrived as this week brings about the first day of fall. Don't forget to bring a sweatshirt or jacket to wear when you go outside for recess. Be sure to take notice of the many changes that will happen over the next few weeks - the cooler temperature, the shorter amount of daylight, the bountiful harvest of pumpkins and apples, and the vibrant colors as the leaves turn. Fall is a wonderful time to enjoy the beauty of God's creation!
Have you ever thrown a boomerang? If you have, you know that it comes right back to you. This is a great analogy of what happens when you are kind and respectful to others...they come right back to you! If you show others kindness and respect, people will do the same for you. So, remember to be kind and respectful to others by considering others feelings, needs, or ideas. Listen to people. And, always tell the truth. When people respect one another, there are fewer conflicts so remember to BE KIND!
This Friday marks the middle of the first trimester. How are you doing now that we are several weeks into the school year? Are you participating in classroom discussions? Are you turning in your classwork and homework? Are you studying and preparing for your classes? If you are doing your best, keep up the great work! If there are areas where you can make improvements, try to do that over the next few weeks.
Peace,
Mrs. Bosley
