Family shots from Mississippi

Last Thursday my family suffered the loss of my Grandma Nations and we traveled to Mississippi this weekend for her funeral. This very sad occasion brought together our extended family and provided an opportunity for us to visit with one another. Grandma is missed but we find peace knowing she is in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Please Help

I know times are tough for a lot of people but this is a worthy cause and will have an impact immediately for these kids...Derick's autism teacher has a new program that she wants to use with her autism students to help with reading comprehension. The problem is she needs a lot of ink and paper for the program to helpful. Mrs. Lamberth has a website set up to collect donations. Please donate if you can. Even a dollar will help! Thanks!

See Mrs. Lamberth's request below

Hello to all,

I have been working over the holidays! For those of you who work with me know this is not out of the ordinary. I found a website which allows teachers to create proposals for classroom projects. The request cannot come from administrators or boards. Only persons who work directly with students can create the proposals. My classroom project was approved and posted.

This year we are using a program called PixWriter to help my Autistic students reach the curriculum. I am able to type in text from our science and social studies books and it adds pictures above the text to help students understand the text. The program can also be used to help students create retelling of stories we read in the classroom to build comprehension. It is helping but it is using a lot of ink. Our proposal is asking for people to help us reach our goal for ink, paper, and notebooks. The faster we get donations, the faster the materials will reach us. The link is below. Please forward this email to everyone in your address book. I do not mind where funds come from and every little bit helps. A dollar here and there will help us get the materials we need. Thank you for your help!!! The great thing about this website is people who visit the website can choose projects they wish to support.

Thank you for your help. I have not used this site before so I am curious to see what becomes of our project.

Take it to the Hoop

Basketball season is in full swing here at the Mabee house. Derick and Isabel are both playing Upward basketball this season. So every Saturday for the next few weeks we will make the trek to the basketball courts to see them play. Here are a few pictures from this weekend.
