Your Honor Roll students went on a field trip to the TECO Manatee Viewing Center today. After a couple of weeks of very cold weather, it was prime viewing time for manatees! These gentle sea cows gather at the TECO generating plant, where warm water is discharged into Tampa Bay. The manatees congregate in large numbers to enjoy the warm water.

On our way north, we stopped at Gamble Plantation for a few minutes, because the manatee viewing center wasn't open yet. The Plantation visitor center was closed, but we were able to wander around and see the sugarcane processing facilities. The sundial was working properly, which was neat.

We arrived at the Manatee Viewing Center just before the opening time of 10:00am, and headed out onto the long pier. We estimated that there were easily more than 400 manatees just in our viewing area. We also saw enormous tarpon, and even a few sharks. After a stop at the gift shop, we headed out to get lunch at Chick-fil-A.

After lunch, we went a little farther north to Bass Pro Shops, with just over an hour of time for shopping. The students had a great time wandering around the store. Of course, on the way home we had to stop at 7-Eleven for Slurpees. It was an interesting day!

The Christmas program was beautifully presented by the students this evening! Each student played their role well, and the whole effect was to bring an authenticity to the story of the Advent, from the ancient world to our modern time. Real people, real fears and desires and plans - all weave a richly textured tapestry around the birth of our Lord Jesus.

Sheep and shepherds, King and Baby, the Couple and the cousins, the angels and the soldiers: you all did an amazing job. Well done, students!

Enjoy your vacation. Merry Christmas!

Thanks to Miss Kayla C. for the photography this evening.
