Exhibition Night

Williamsburg Intermediate recently hosted their first annual Exhibition Night.  It was an evening designed for students to perform talents in music, public speaking, and visual arts.  They were asked to select pieces from American figures, prior to the year 1960.  Nathan and Maren researched and discovered many talented artists in American history.  Nathan chose to create a replica of Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Cans.  Maren learned to play a piano arrangement of George Gershwin's Rapsody in Blue.  It was facinating to watch the students present via web cam.  Technology is truly amazing!

Harold B. Lee, 11th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints:

Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail.  This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden.  This is the place of the new Jerusalem.  This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world.  This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple.  This is the favored land in all the world.  Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail.  I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.

I plead with you not to preach pessimism.  Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world.  This is the favored land.  This is the land of our forefathers.  It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through. (Ye Are the Light of the World 350-51)"
