Late Pics

Random pictures from the past month!

I did a mini unit on Christmas symbols... any guess which symbol these boys are illustrating?!

The school's Christmas tree!  Ornaments are consistent with Polish tradition:  dried fruit and ornaments made out of straw, lace and bark!

Beautiful stairwell going down the school's basement (gym and lockers).

Kaylor's class after their Christmas gift exchange on St. Mikolaj Day.

The youngest two grades during their gift exchange.

Last year the school participated in a "gift drive" (there's a Polish organization that runs it... just don't remember the name) where each class had a family to buy gifts for... everything from kitchen and bath supplies to clothing and gifts.  On St. Mikolaj Day, the entire school participated in organizing, sorting, boxing, and wrapping up the gifts.  It was way cool to see the kids so excited to give in this way.

Kaylor's class posing with their Christmas cards they created for her class back in the states at Nashua Christian Academy.  Needless to say, we just got them sent out this week... guess they'll be New Year cards!! 
Exodus 15, Proem's band, was asked by the big mall (Manufaktura) in Lodz to put on a Christmas concert.  It was fun going over on a Friday night (although traffic caused us to get there late!) and see people walking through the mall and then stopping to hear them sing and play! 
The church's iCafe... open to the public during the day and widely used! 
Kaylor's half of the room. :)

Lauren's half of the room (with the cool skylight!)
