Scripture of the month

And moreover, I say unto you, that salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which, God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses.

Mosiah 13:28

Thought of the Month

"Think of it! when his body was taken from the cross and hastily placed in a borrowed tomb, he, the sinless son of God, had already taken upon him not only the sins and temptations of every human soul who will repent, but all of our sickness and grief and pain of every kind. He suffered these afflictions as we suffer them, according to the flesh. He suffered them all. He did this to perfect his mercy and his ability to lift us above every earthly trial."

Howard W. Hunter

Family night at Woodrow Wilson





The kids’ elementary school holds a "family night" every couple of months. There are treats, activities, and you can meet with the kids' teachers. The theme of the one in January was literacy. So, every grade and the staff and facility had to make "literacy trees". Each class chose a favorite author or theme and then decorated a Christmas style tree around that theme. Felicia’s class chose the true story of Sadako and the 1,000 paper cranes (very good book that I suggest everyone reads). Andrew's class chose literacy vs. math. Nick's class chose "Cat in the Hat". And, Title One (where I work) chose Twilight. It was so fun to see all the different trees that all the classes and staff made.
