As seen from the eyes of a child

Whenever we go on field trips, I always encourage the students to bring their cameras if they want to and are able to do so. One particular student has been faithful to bring his camera along on every trip and has taken some really great pictures. Here are a few of his pictures from our trip to the capitol as seen from the eyes of a child. We may have a future photographer on our hands!

We're ready to run for office!

Well, maybe not quite yet, but being a page when we are 12 does sound exciting! Today, the third grade classes from The Heiskell School toured the state capitol building. We learned so many interesting things about the building itself and the way the law in our state works. During our tour, we were able to visit the gallery of the House of Representatives, and even more exciting than that we were invited to go on the actual floor of the Senate chambers! As if that was not enough excitement for one morning, Senator George Hooks from Plains, Georgia, came out of his office to say hello to the students. His hometown should sound quite familiar, as he shares it with another famous Georgian, former President Jimmy Carter! Here are some pictures from our big day at the capitol.

Capitol Bound

Tomorrow, third graders from Heiskell are going to tour this beautiful building, our state's capitol. We will depart school promptly at 8:45 A.M. and will return no later than lunchtime at 12:30 P.M. Students need to wear their chapel uniforms. Cameras are permitted and encouraged. Please join us in praying for traveling mercies and pleasant weather.
