With Christmas approaching, don’t forget to attend an event at Morgantown Care and Rehab. Copied from the calendar of planned events at MCRC, the week before Christmas looks to be packed with events, parties and, who knows, maybe even Santa himself.

The spirit of Christmas is never as evident as it is in the words of children. Each year Beech Tree News prints letters to Santa written by students at  North Butler Elementary. Letters to Santa reaffirm the message of the holiday season as they brim with a sense of hope and innocence. Enjoy the read!

MORGANTOWN ELEMENTARY:

Mrs. Tabatha Baker's Kindergarten Class

To the family, friends, fellow church members, and co-workers: if you stopped to visit, brought a dish, said a prayer, sent flowers in memory, or just kept us in your thoughts, thank you. To Dr. Wan and his staff, no amount of words can express our gratitude. You went above and beyond with all the help during Mom’s illness. To the Butler Co. Ambulance Service, thank you for all you do. To Bro. Gary Embry, than you so much for all that you did during this sad time. To Salem Baptist Church thank you for your prayers, visits and the wonderful meal you served after the funeral.

The daughters of Olive "Carson" Cook invite friends and family to join in the celebration of their mother's 95th birthday. This will be December 18 at the Aberdeen Baptist Church Fellowship Hall between 2 and 4 p.m.

Mother would enjoy hearing from those who had Dad in school. No gifts; your presence is enough, or a card if you can't attend.

The family of Ada Cartwright would like to thank you for all the kindness showen to our mother throughout her illness; Morgantown Care & Rehab for the care given her throughout the ten years; for those who sent flowers, food and cards.  A special thanks is extended to Price Funeral Home and to Bro. Pete Phelps for the kind words spoken at her funeral.

More pictures from the Quality Christmas Parade.

The Quality Christmas Parade was held Saturday, December 10th. The parade began at the old Anderson Store on Highway 106 and continued through downtown Quality passing the Quality Cafe and ending at the Quality Baptist Church. This year's theme was "A Christmas to Remember". Mrs. Maxine Gardner served as Grand Marshal of the parade.  According to Fred Tate, one of the organizers of the event, this year's parade was one of the largest.  Enjoy the pictures of the parade and visit the BtN YouTube channel to view the parade in its entirety.

Morgantown Elementary School gymnasium was packed with hundreds of proud parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles, and other family and friends Thursday night as the five kindergarten classes performed the musical “Music All Over Me.”  After months of practice, the kindergarten students put on a show that did not disappoint.  All of the children sang, and 22 of the students had speaking parts that kept the crowd laughing throughout the musical.  

Eighteen FCCLA members met after school on Wednesday, December 7, 2011 to begin making “Beading to Beat Autism” bracelets. This project was started by 14 year old Michala Riggle. Her mission is to raise $300,000.00 to build a world-class autism research and treatment center. Michala and her “peeps” have already reached and gone above and beyond the initial goal of raising $200,000 for an autism study at Kosair Children’s Hospital.
