West Earl Lions Student Of The Month

The Brownstown Elementary School, along with the West Earl Lions, have awarded the last Student of the Month for the 2022-23 school year. The winner was Gabriel Reinford, son of Kendall and Elisa Reinford, and student of Ms. Lori Ditzler.

Ms. Ditzler sees how determined Gabe is and eager to learn despite many hard challenges in his life. When things get tough, Gabe perseveres! He is learning how to handle his feelings and has taught classmates how to say “yes” to the teacher when asked to do a job. He helps his classmates with a loving heart and loves to give hugs.

A good listener, Gabe works on reading and math, and becoming responsible with his things and cleaning up. He shows respect to others by walking quietly, using kind words and owning his mistakes and correcting them. Ms. Ditzler is so proud of the progress Gabe has made and cheered with everyone at the choice of Gabe Reinford as April Student of the Month!

Congratulations go to Gabe from the West Earl Lions Club at this great honor. They know he will continue to progress and overcome any challenges along the way. Everyone has challenges in life, and as Lions, they are here to help to overcome the challenges the community and beyond may be facing. They are here to serve!

Es Evengelium Vum Lukas

Es Zwett Kabiddel: Erscht bis zwanzischt Varscht

Iwwersetzt ins Deitsche beim Ralph Charles Wood

Un zu sellre Zeit is en Befehl vum Kaiser Aguschdus kumme, as die ganz Welt geseest warre sott. Un selli Sessment waar die erscht un hot schtattgfunne, wie der Cyrenius Govener in Syria waar. Un en yeders is hiegange fer sich sesse losse, yeders in sei Vadderschtadt.

Un Joseph hot sich uff der Weg gemacht vun Galilaea in der Schtadt Nazareth noch em yiddische Land un der Schtadt Daavid, as Bethlehem heest, weil er en Noochkemmling vum Daavid waar un sich datt hot schetze losse solle mit der Maria, seinre Fraa, as schwanger waar. Un wie sie datt aakumme sin, is ihre Zeit kumme un sie hot ihre erschder Buh gebore, hot ihn in Windle gewickelt un in en Fudergang gelegt, weil sie sunscht ken Blatz im Wattshaus hen ghat.

Un es waare Schoofhieder in sellre Gegend im Feld, die hen in der Nacht ihre Schoof ghiet. Un sehnt, em Herr sei Engle is zu ihne kumme un die Glori vum Herr hot um sie geleicht un sie hen sich arig gefarricht.

Awwer der Engel hot ihne gsaat: Farricht eich net. Sehnt, ich verkindich eich groossi Freed, as fer all die Leit in der Welt bschtimmt is. Fer heit is eich der Heiland gebore, Grischdus der Herr, in em Daavid seinre Schtadt. Un des nemmt fer en Zeeche: ihr finne es Kindli in Windle gewickelt un in em Fuderdroog leie. Un dann waare beim Engel viele vun der himmlische Kompanie, he Gott gelobt un gsaat: Ehr sei Gott in der Heh, Un Friede uff der Erd bei de Mensche
