You and Your
Schools
By SUE SPIVEY
Member, Board of Education
Christmas is very much on
the minds of school children in
Chattooga County. Each of our
.seven schools is admirably
decorated for the occasions.
1 asked Mrs. Jackie Eilen
burg’s third grade reading class
at Pennville Elementary to
write what Christmas means to
them. Here are a few of their
responses:
“On Christmas I can put up
the tree and I can play with the
toys that Santa Claus brings
me. 1 will go to church and
play outside if it is not snow
ing. Santa’s reindeer will come
to my house with him. I will go
to my grandmas, grandpas to
eat Christmas dinner. We have
aunts, uncles, grandmas, grand
pas, children, babies. Christmas
is special to me because it is
Jesus’ birthday. We play a lot
and talk a lot.’’—Andy Aber

“Christmas is Jesus’ birth
day. Christmas means giving.
Christmas is a holiday you
won’t forget. Christmas is a
day when people get together.
Christmas is a beautiful day.
Jesus was born on Christmas.
And we should celebrate his
birthday. I like Christmas
because it is a holiday. We
open presents. Christmas
restores old memories.”—Jeff
Coley

“Christmas means for
people to be happy. What I
love about Christmas is that it
is Jesus’ birthday. We sing
Christmas songs at church. I
like to put the icicles on the
Christmas tree, it’s fun. Christ
mas is a beautiful holiday and I
love it. I like to celebrate
Christmas with my family.
That’s the most fun of all. I
like to eat ham and other good
things. My brother, John, loves
ham very much. I like to open
presents and then play with my
toys. We go to the Christmas
parades to see the floats and
hear the band play Christmas
songs.—Tammv Ramey

“Christmas means happiness
and giving. Christmas means a
lot to me. People celebrate
Christmas Day. Christmas is a
holiday you shouldn’t forget.
All houses are shining with
bulbs. Trees showing through
the windows with icicles and
tinsel hanging on it. I am going
to get a Mr. Quarterback for
Christmas and an electric foot
ball game for Christmas. We
sing Christmas carols in the
church. I always color in my
Christmas coloring book at
night. Santa Claus is going to
bring presents to me.”-Jon
Mitchell

“Christmas means a lot of
love and laughter. You can
receive presents and give
presents, but it is better to give
than receive. You can get many
kinds of presents like dolls, and
games. On Christmas we cele
brate Jesus’ Birthday. Jesus
was born on Christmas Day.

On Christmas Eve we decorate
the tree with bulbs, icicles, and
candy canes and tinsel. When I
first wake up on Christmas
morning to sec what Santa
Claus brought me, my mother
helps me open my toys. One
year I got a bubble gum
machine. That’s what Christ
mas means to me the most.—
