Thanksgiving Day Lyrics

THANKSGIVING DAY Words and music by Pamela Weeks This Weeks Publishing ©
IT IS A COLD BRISK DAY IN November
THE LEAVES HAVE BID FARWELL
I’M REMINED OF THE TIME WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL
THANKSGIVING DAY WAS SPENT
WITH GRANDMA AND GRANDPA
OH, IF I COULD GO BACK ONE MORE TIME
CHORUS
WE WOULD GATHER AT THE OLD WOOD TABLE
NOTHING FANCY AT ALL
A PICTURE OF THE LAST SUPPER
HUNG ON THE WALL
GRANDPA WOULD CARVE THE TURKEY
GRANDMA SAID GRACE
EVERYONE BOWED THEIR HEAD WITH A SMILE ON THEIR FACE
THE DAY SEEMED TO LAST FOREVER BUT HOW QUICKLY TIME WENT BY
I CAN STILL HEAR THE LAUGHTER
AS GRANDMA SERVED THE PUMPKIN PIE
GRANDPA WOULD PLAY HIS OLD GUITAR
GRANDMA WOULD SING ALONG
THOUGH HER VOICE IS WEAK
HER SONG IS SO SWEET
CHORUS
BRIDGE
OUR KIDS HAVE ALL GROWN UP NOW AND WE HAVE CHILDREN OF OUR OWN BUT ON THIS SPECIAL DAY THEY ALL COME HOME

Help Support GOAL Scholarship Program

At no additional cost, you can re-direct your Georgia income tax payments to provide scholarships to Unity Christian School! You are already paying income taxes to the state. This is simply redirecting those funds in order to bless a family who would not otherwise be able to afford a private Christian school education.

It is very simple for you to help a child receive a scholarship to UCS at no expense to you. And we will gladly fill out all the paperwork for you, so that all you have to do is sign your name!

Please contact Jennifer Eddins at 706-292-0700, ext 314 or jeddins@unitychristianschool.org for more info.

We have 16 students who wish to attend UCS, but are waiting on GOAL Scholarship funds to come in to help with financial aid.

Testimonies from current GOAL scholarship families:
I didn't think I could afford it, but GOD brought my family to UCS! My daughter considered UCS "her school" even though we attended a different school for two years due to financial reasons. Her faith remained strong, and God proved faithful....she is back at UCS thanks to the GOAL Scholarship Program!
Middle and High School Honors Nights

The UCS Middle and High School Honors Night was held at Calvary Baptist Church. We would like to thank Calvary for accommodating our school when we need extra room for our families to share in the accomplishments of UCS students. Many were recognized for most improved, highest averages, principal and headmaster awards. A special thank you to all of the dedicated teachers and staff that have stayed in the Word and ministered to the students.

2nd-graders video chat with S. Korean pen pals


by Daniel Bell Second-graders in a classroom at Unity Christian School had the unique opportunity to meet their pen pals face-to-face Thursday night, even though the youngsters they had been swapping letters with were thousands of miles away in Mokpo, South Korea.

Thanks to the wonder of high-speed Internet and webcams, two classes a world apart realized they had more in common than they would have thought. The video chat was a result of a pen pal program between the class of UCS teacher Ginger Slaughter and her sister-in-law Pam Weeks’ English class in South Korea.

“They have loved it,” said Slaughter. “When they got all the stuff in the mail that they sent us they really got excited.”

In addition to the letters, the Korean students sent photos, calendars, money, postcards and a copy of their alphabet. Students said they were excited to learn about students on the other side of the planet.

“I think it’s really cool and exciting to see people from across the world,” said Claire Sentell while holding a letter from her pen pal Minsu.

Claire said she told Minsu about her school and that her favorite food is macaroni. Minsu, in return, told Claire that her favorite food was pizza, her favorite animal is the squirrel and that her favorite story to read is “Beauty and the Beast.”

Slaughter said the main goal of the project was to expose the children to another culture. She said the students have had lessons in language and geography, but their exchanges with their fellow students have also taught them about traditional dress and customs.

Weeks said via video that her students have learned a lot during the project and had fun, too.

“This is a wonderful experience for my children,” she said.

Weeks told the UCS students Thursday night (or Friday morning her time) that students in South Korea go to school for 16 hours a day, year-round, and even on weekends. Weeks, a native of Cedar­town, said Mokpo reminds her a little of Fish Creek in Polk County. She teaches English and arts at the school in Korea.

Also during the chat, students from either country asked questions about sports, food and school. The Unity students were surprised to discover the Korean students liked some of the same things they like. Since many of the Koreans said their favorite food is kimchi, a pickled cabbage and pepper dish, the American second-graders asked for the recipe.
