“Prom Revisited” ~ April 25th

Similar to last year’s “Thrift Shop Formal”, our MOPS group will be hosting an
evening of food and fun called “Prom Revisited” on Saturday, April 25th. For $15 a person,
you and your husband can enjoy a delicious dinner and a fun evening while your little ones are
being entertained by our mopettes staff. Appropriate
attire for the evening would be a tacky prom dress or mismatched formalwear. So mark your
calendar and start looking for that perfect (eighties!) prom dress! Reservations will begin in
April.

If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn.

If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice.
If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.
