The Amazing Human
Body
A series about the most
interesting thing on earth--you!
We are starting a new learning
series for you, about you. During
the next couple of months we will
learn about how our body works.
What happens to food after we eat
it? Why is our blood red?
How do our bones grow?
Our body is an amazing machine.
Every second of the day and
night--without you even knowing
it--our body is busily working to
keep us running smoothly. We
will learn how complicated the
human body is, and it really is an
incredible feat!
See you in class!
A great afternoon.
Kemah Boardwalk
It’s a perfect day for an outing on
the boardwalk.
The catfish got a treat from us.
Our first class will be on
Tuesday, December 20th @
2:00 p.m.
Stay after for a fun game,
Operation, of course!

Resident
Michael Fielding
Please join us in congratulating Michael,
Dishwasher, for being our star this month. He is
somewhat one of our “behind the scenes” team
members, as his work requires that he spends
the majority of his time in the kitchen.
Michael has been an intricate part of the kitchen
team and he has helped tremendously to make
sure that everything runs smoothly.
Many residents don’t know who he is, but when
he does join the residents in the dining room
they love his smile and extremely pleasant
personality.

Christmas Bells
I HEARD the bells on
Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols
play, /
Of peace on earth, good-will
to men!/
Then...the cannon thundered
in the South, And/ The carols
drowned/
In despair I bowed my head;
“There is no peace on earth,”
I said;
“For hate is strong, /And
mocks the song”/
Then pealed the bells more
loud ...
“God is not dead, nor doth
He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth,
good-will to men.”
Nearly every Belmont resident
should remember singing this song
at Christmas and should remember
in these troubled times that “God is
not dead,” and there will be “peace
on earth” again. ~ Carolyn Moss
