Last week was teacher appreciation week.
While out picking up some "essentials" one day recently, I picked up some teacher appreciation trinkets to give my kid's teachers. I was hopeful that maybe I could take them to school and give them to the boy's teachers.
One of the trinkets is sitting on my makeshift desk at home, where I work remotely and my kids also learn remotely.

Dear Editor, In last week's school board meeting, it was announced that the graduations for this year's senior class will take place in the gym with the administration, student and 2 guests along with a videographer. The student will be videoed walking across the stage, picking up their diploma and exiting the stage. This will be dubbed together with all of the other students' video clips and this will then be live-streamed on what would have been the students' actual graduation date.

This photo was found in The Nashville Graphic's 1954-1956 archives. There was no information with the photo and we're not sure if it indeed published sometime during those years. The photo does seem to have been taken in the Washington Street area of Nashville.

MISSING PETS? BEWARE of the COYOTE! It is NOT safe to allow your pet to go outside by itself, especially at night. Some time back, we heard of a suspected coyote attack on a 30 pound dog in Nashville NC area, when the owner let it out to potty. Her leg was badly hurt. Many people report being tracked by them when walking their pets or hearing their howling. Leaving pet food outside, for example, encourages them, as they are scavengers.

There isn't a Christian who doesn't have doubts about his or her faith. However, many of us are too proud to admit it. A lot of Christians would have those of us who do admit we occasionally succumb to doubt that we have some spiritual problem that needs to be fixed. The next time they try to punish you for your honesty, think about the above verse and ask them when the last time was they threw a mountain into the sea.

You and I were made for relationships. Introverts were made for relationships. Extroverts were made for relationships. Everyone on the Myers Briggs or Enneagram spectrum was made for relationships. Yes, those relationships play out in unique ways depending on the God-given personalities we have, but all of us are in need of relationships. Like "Wilson", Chuck Nolan's trusty volleyball sidekick from the movie Castaway, we all just need someone to talk to. We all need relationships.

A message from Pastor Gene Whitehouse of Peachtree Baptist Church.
Mother's Day 2020 sure looked a lot different this year due to COVID-19. Some family gatherings were not held, travel to see distant mothers was curtailed, the "take Mom out to dinner" was either take-out or order in. Things have really changed in the last few months for all of us.

Cooper's Elementary School staff recently worked on a beautification project for the school grounds.

CES also held a drive-through "Cinco De Mayo Party" for Teacher's Appreciation Day last week.
