A Biography of My Sister

My sister's name is Madison. She was born on Mother's Day 2008. Her mom's name is Jamie, and her dad's name is Chad. She was born in Shreveport, Louisiana.

She is a good girl. She now knows how to crawl. She loves Romen, Mom, Dad, Devin, and me. She can say "Bubba", "Mama", and "Dada". She likes to pull herself on things! She likes to play with Mom, Dad, Romen, Devin, and me.

All in all, Madison is my only sister. I love her a whole bunch. She is a loving sister.

Inside Games!

Our students have been having to play inside quite a bit lately. They really enjoy playing an all time favorite game of silent ball. However, their teacher makes them switch from time to time. They also enjoy playing a game where they have to guess who is the leader. Trent really had a hard time guessing who the leader was in this round of the game. Must have been someone really SNEAKY!!!!

A Christmas Craft Day

PNA students enjoyed an afternoon of fun today. They had several crafts, listened to the story Polar Express, sipped hot chocolate, and decorated and ate their own cupcakes. They enjoyed going from session to session to see what they were going to get to do next. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Pat, Mrs. Sue, Mrs. Misty M., Mrs. Robbie, and Mrs. Misty R. for coming up with a craft or treat to share with 0ur kids. What a fun day!

A Biography of My Mom

My mom is Robbie Michelle. She was born on January 2. Her adopted parents are Robert and Bobbie, and her biological mom is Donna. Her dad, Robert, died when she was 12 years old.

Later, her mom married, David, whom she loved as a father. He died January 2, 2005. My mom knows he's in a better place.

My mom is married to Steve. She has two children, Corey and Chloe' (me). We have seven pets. We have three dogs, two cats, and a guinea pig.

She likes to read, swim, and exercise. My mom likes to clean and clean. She also likes making her kids clean.

Sara Anne-Grace

By Hannah
5th Grade Student

My sister is Sara Anne-Grace. She is three years old. She was born on April 4, 2005 in Shreveport, Louisiana. Her parents are Steve and Misty. She has one sister, Hannah Elizabeth (me), and one brother, Luke Ryan.

When she was younger, she was always sick. She also had her eyes scratched two times.

Sara likes to make messes, watch movies, and play dolls. She also likes to catch bees and play animals. She likes to eat a lot, but she is very small.

Some people would say she is very rowdy. She will always be a drama queen. Believe me she will. She screams a whole lot because of her brother Luke.

I love my sister very much. I hope she will stop making messes and screaming. Maybe she will grow up and have a good attitude.

**Last names have been omitted.

Nautical Christmas Ornaments!

Nicholas admired his Christmas ornament after he put it on the tree!

Chloe picked the perfect spot to hang her perfect ornament!

Lauren and Carrie worked hard to create their perfect creations.

Lucas could not wait until he finally could go into the other room to make his Christmas decoration.

Ashlan and Ashlyn worked on their ornaments along with Michael and Erica. What fun they had working together.

HARD WORK SURE PAYS OFF!!!!

Our students were instrumental in presenting a Christmas presentation entitled "A Miracle on Main Street" since their teacher is also over the junior department. PNA students had to carry the main part of the load in the presentation. They practiced many hours during the last few weeks. Here they are practicing right before the program with some of our Junior Kids.

Two of our students, Lucas and Bentley, were wisemen! Great Job, boys.

Here they are Christmas caroling along Main Street. What a good looking group!

I can't get over what an awesome job these kids and adults did in presenting the message of Christmas! Hard work sure pays off......Keep up the good work. A special thanks goes to everyone involved in helping to make this program so awesome! There were so many who helped in so many different ways. Thanks again.

AND THE WINNERS OF THE NEATEST DESKS ARE.....
