Our Maravillas (aftercare program) are working on virtues this year, and they are currently working on a unit about "humility." Maestra Susanna chose the tree as a metaphor for humility, and the children came up with these qualities themselves. "The Tree": "The tree is patient and silent as it works" -- Nathan "It's a very faithful friend" -- Terissa "If I take care of it, it will take care of me" -- Eben "The tiny little parts do great big work" -- Kyle "They make air for me to breathe!" -- Sofia "The leaves make the tree grow really big" -- Eben How beautifully the tree embodies the qualities of humility!
