Students learned the number
one nutrition rule Five a day
from the lruil and vegetable way '
as well as several important
kitchen rules.
Bledsoe reminded the students
to always gel Mom and Dad s
permission, to clean up their mess
when done, and of course, to
always, wash their hands before
making a snack
“You should use warm water
and anti-bacterial soap, and count
to 20. to gel hands nice and
clean." advised Bledsoe
According to Bledsoe, making
their own snacks, can be not only
fun. but also educational for the
young children
“They can learn math skills by
measuring and counting and sci
ence skills by mixing ingredients
together to create physical
changes, such as changes in
color.” said Bledsoe.
At the end of the day. the chil
dren were able to take their
recipes home with them, and
according to Childers, the lesson
was a big success.
“Several of the parents have
called to say that the snacks are a
big hit with the kids, especially
the Smiles and the Ants on a log'"

We are unable to thank each one with a personal note due to the fact that so many
tnends and family tame or called to see how Preacher was doing So many came to
the house and sat tor a tew minutes, or even hours some came once many came
every day. and so many called, we were unable to log the calls
As soon as we would hang up the phone it would nng again When Preacher went
to the hospital, so many calledd and came by It was very uplifting to Preacher when
he saw old friends and old co-workers
We would like to thank all who prayed for our family We will not list every name
They are |ust too many You know who you are If it was food, money or time, you
allowed in your busy schedule to take time to stop by and say you prayed for us We
love you and thank you very much
There were a tew busineses in our community that helped in this sad time Sprecial
thanks to Dr Bonnie Brinson $ t Auto Sales Mr Gary Bishop of CBAT Bank and to
Fairfield Inn
We thank God tor the strength to see us through this sad time. To all the people who
were unable to qei inside the church and did not hear the service, God bless
you We had always known that Preacher was special to us and everyone he
met Over 200 people came to the funeral home and over 400 people came
to the house over a five day penod There were an estimated 250 at the ser
vice We thank each and every one of you
Thanks is |ust a portion of deep appreciation tor shannq so much goodness
from your heart Your many kindnesses are such a source of love and insptra
tion that Thanks is not enough It is |ust a start Thank you very much
