Oak Brook Christian School

Special Visitors to the Little Lamb Class

Each of the classes had a visit today from Mary and her new born Baby, Jesus.   It was a great way to end our week of celebrating the birth of Jesus.  Many of the preschool and kindergarten children will be away from school for the next two weeks.  This timely reminder about what Christmas is all about was good for us all.

Mary and Jesus

Thanks to the parents that shared their time and talent with us as we told the story of Jesus’ birth in a memorable way.  Merry Christmas to all!

Teachers Reunited with Past Students

What a nice surprise we had today.  Students, Monica and Gina Goldblatt and their mother, Marta, paid a surprise visit to Oak Brook Christian School teachers.  The girls and their sister Suzanna participated in our preschool program twenty years ago.   The Goldblatt family continue to be in touch with their favorite teacher, Mrs. Barb, after moving to Virginia. The girls have excelled in their education.  One has a government position in Washington DC, one is in law school and the other is working on her PHD.  The teachers were pleased that the girls had good memories of their time here and that they desired to come back to see their preschool teachers once again.

All Aboard

The train conductor called for our school children to board the Polar Express train headed to the North Pole this morning.

Everybody Have a Ticket?

The conductor collected tickets before the train got underway on our fanciful ride to the North Pole.

Enjoying the Last Drop

Each child was served homemade cookies and warm chocolate milk while we watched a video based on the Caldecott award winning book

The Polar Express by Chris Allsburg.

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer or Pastor Dan?

Pastor Dan joined us for the trip to lead a few festive songs.  The favorite was Jingle Bells.

Everybody Sing!

We all had a wonderful time on our trip and arrived back to school just in time to receive our own Christmas bells and meet the parents who were picking preschoolers up at 11:30PM.

A visitor from the East came to school this morning to tell the children about his visit long ago to Mary, Joseph and Jesus.  He and his friends brought gifts to Jesus the new born King.  As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, our children are learning all they can about how God chose to send His Son to be the Savior of the world.

Tomorrow is the day to wear pajamas and slippers to school and participate in a fanciful trip to the North Pole.  Warm chocolate and cookies will be served as we view the abbreviated version of The Polar Express.  Pastor Dan will lead a few Christmas songs too.  Be sure to join your class for this special winter school event.

Happy Birthday Jesus

Don’t miss our children’ musical about the birth of Jesus., Thursday evening at 7PM.  There will be a cookie and punch reception immediately following the program.  Everyone is welcome to attend.
