Happy March! :) We hope and pray you are all healthy and happy and ready for Spring. We have been busy, busy, busy here in ACE and I wanted to check in with you to share some of our excursions. We will be exploring Asia and also focusing on St. Patrick's Day.
We will also be hosting our own March Madness competition to see whose favorite animal will the the ultimate favorite. Have your son or daughter consider which land and sea animals they will nominate!
Fruit of the Spirit: Faithfulness
Bible Verse: I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me (Matthew 25:35).
Special Days
18th - Early Release from Springboro Schools.
Mission
Each class be collecting dimes during the month of March to help support their March for Babies team! We will calculate all of the totals at the end of the challenge, and the winning class will receive a dunk party in honor of March Madness Basketball! Start collecting those dimes, every little bit helps!
Why the March of Dimes?
Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies each year in the United States . Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more moms and babies can get the strongest start possible. Please help support the Dreyer team at www.marchforbabies.org/dreyer_lori or join the team and march on April 26 at 9:00 a.m. at Paul Brown Stadium.
GPS
In March we will travel to Asia in G.P.S. There will be Russian and Chinese words to learn, video travel the Taj Mahal, Bangkok and see Japanese Ninjas. Our Fruit of the Spirit is Faithfulness and there will be Bible stores from "The Faithful Hall of Fame". And, of course, we will celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

A thank you note from Miss Lisa
My heart has been so overwhelmed with the amazing generosity of all of my "family." The love and support that I have gotten through my husband's surgery has truly filled my heart. I have been so blessed to call you all family.
Thank you for the beautiful cards (especially the ones drawn by the children) and the continued prayers.
God has blessed me with all of you. I have always believed that nothing is impossible with God and faith by my side and you are all proof of that!
So with a filled heart I say thank you again!
Love,
Miss Lisa
