By: Ivan Carlson, Megan Deets, Sierra Stahl (4th grade) and Timothy Ricketts (3rd grade) By: Alyssa Kieser (6th grade) Light House Academy gets to ring bells for the Salvation Army each year. Our location was at the grocery door of the Allen Road Wal-Mart. We sang Christmas carols while we rang bells. All of our students and teachers were divided into three groups to cover the morning shifts. After our shift was done, we went back to school to drink hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies. Do you know any Civil War snacks? During our Civil War chapter, we made two treats called Johnnycakes and Hardtack. The Hardtack is like a cracker and was a food the soldiers could easily carry. It was hard and didn’t have much flavor. It was so hard that you had to dip it in tea or some type of liquid to make it softer. The Johnnycakes were tastier than the Hardtack. They tasted like pancakes, and they were sweet. They were both very fun to make! Recently at the Salvation Army awards ceremony, we found out that Light House Academy won first place in our division!! Our kettle collected $845.35! Ringing bells is a great way to have fun and to raise money for Salvation Army. Field Trip Day By: Miss Berchtold with Brooklyn Wieland, Lily Zimmerman, and Selah Huang (Kindergarten) We were very excited to go on a field trip to the Riverfront Museum. We watched a movie in 3D called “Extreme Weather.” Mrs. Meister and Mrs. Tkaczyk’s classes went also. After eating lunch at McDonalds, we went bowling at the Peoria Christian Center. It was fun to watch everyone bowl! School is so fun, and it’s hard to believe we only have about three months of school left! Going For Gold By: Justin Ricketts (7th grade) and Lauren Hougham (6th grade) This year the middle schoolers have again had the privilege to participate in River City Gymnastics. We enjoy it so much! We have been learning how to do back and front flips, cartwheels, somersaults, roundoffs, and cartwheels on the balance beam. We have also learned how to jump from the lower bar to the higher bar on the uneven bars. Our teacher, Brandon, is very patient and kind. He helps us accomplish our goals, even when it looks hard. We get to exercise on the bars, beam, floor, pit, and vault. Gymnastics is a lot of fun, and we hope to do it again next year. Make sure that you always go for gold! Spirit Week Steele Jude is here! Have you ever participated in Spirit Week? It is a fun and encouraging week with fun games and activities. On Monday, we decorated the school in our school colors, red and black. Then, on Tuesday, we all dressed up as our favorite sports team or player. On Wednesday, we wore creative hats, homemade or storebought. On Thursday, we wrote an encouraging note to everyone in our class; we also got to wear comfy clothes. Finally, on Friday, we had Wacky Tacky Day. We had to wear the wackiest clothes we had that did not match. We hope you will have a fun time if you do Spirit Week and participate. Mrs. Tkaczyk had a baby, and his name is Steele Jude. He was born on November 16th. He is 3 months old. He is cute and chubby. He smiles a lot! He has one brother, and his name is Titus. By: Layla Hoerr and Will Dutton (4th grade), Myles Zimmerman and Emily Dobra (3rd grade) By: Aubrey Menold (2nd grade) and Gabriel Huang, Santana Hoerr, Sydney Hougham, and Lucy Deets (1st grade) While Mrs. Tkaczyk was gone taking care of Steele, Mrs. Stahl was our teacher. She was really nice and fun! We are going to miss Mrs. Stahl, but we are glad we get to have Mrs. Tkaczyk back and see Steele and Titus at school in the morning. Civil War Snacks Ring Those Bells!
