Honoring Leatha Lemen

Following the morning worship service, a potluck dinner and program were held to honor Leatha Lemen for her years of service at Grace Christian School. The program began with a review of each year Grace Christian School has been in operation, starting in 1978. Pictures were shown of each class and memories were shared about the different students.

Mrs. Lemen said she has been able to be a “friend” of many of the former students though Facebook. She said it has meant to much to her to have a contact with the students after graduation.

Individuals spoke of the memories they’d shared working at the school with Leatha, and of her love for all the students as demonstrated through her actions.

Mrs. Lemen received a book of memories, pictures of students and letters from former students thanking her for the years she taught them. She also received a plaque as a token of appreciation for her years of service.

The program ended with a song from Ray Boltz, Thank You.
