Advent, Zionsville, IN
Spring Recitation Day at Advent Lutheran School was a success! They enjoyed listening to each students’ piece, and even a few dads took part in the recital!
Recitation day provides students with a chance to memorize something longer and more complicated than their weekly memory work. They gain confidence in their public speaking skills while learning about language and poetry and rhythm. And most of all, they put good, true and beautiful words into their minds and hearts.
