Faith: Melissa (right) winner of $100K from IKEA to help children with intellectual disabilities, with husband Daniel and son Aidan (student in four-year-olds).
Hope: Ms White (right) celebrates her birthday with sister Annette and new niece Hazel.
Love: Grandmother Grace Torrey with Brooklyn (student in three-year-olds).
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

We are also thankful for the gift of Leadership: Meet Dan Bruer, Frankie Lemmon's very first president, who began his duties November 12. We are excited about the future that lies ahead for our school. Mr. Bruer hails from Missouri and lives in Raleigh with his wife and two children. (Details)Mr. Pat is thankful for his granddaughter Raven, who would have LOVED Frankie Lemmon School as a child. Now age nineteen, she recently graduated from high school in Washington, NC with an Edmund Harding $500 scholarship in theater!
Just last week, I visited her where she volunteers at Eagle's Wings, the largest food pantry in Beaufort County—"Christian Love in Action". Here she is below, with warehouse manager Bryan Oesterreich and board member/volunteer Susan Zachary, who gave me a wonderful grand tour. (P.S. They love Raven, too!)
