The Heritage Fair

I heard about the heritage project Lacey was working on

when I picked her up from school one day last week.

So when I was asked for a bit of help, 

I invited myself to see what this fair was all about.

It was great!

Lovella's granddaughter happened to be right beside Lacey,

both having chosen their Mennonite heritage -

so there were Peppernuts and Zwieback to sample, side by side ...
and your guess would be as good as mine, where they got that help from. 

A closer look at her work that I just have to show off -

her own artwork and research.

She also had on display a book published by her aunt -

the life story of her great-grandmother.

I found it so good that kids can learn and share about their background.

Although many in this school have similar backgrounds, 

there were also students from India, Paraguay, Brazil, Croatia,

Netherlands, Holland, Scotland and more...

each being shown value in who they are by

having been given this opportunity.

Even just to open conversations 

with their parents and grandparents is so good.

I am so proud of this beautiful girl -

eager to learn, talented, conscientious, thoughtful

and fun to be with.
