These Kids Tell
What M
MANHEIM (Lancaster)
Fathers —we each have one. They
come in different sizes, shapes,
and colors and they’re called by
different names.
Regardless on whether or not
you call yours dad, pop, daddy,
father or whatever, Sunday is die
day to celebrate. It’s Father’s Day,
a time set aside to tell them how
important they are to us, and to
think about all the good things that
we’ve got because of him.
Eiglh graders at Manheim
Christian Day School in Manheim,
appreciate their fathers. Read what
they wrote about their dads and
then write a litde note to your
father telling him what’s special
about him.
M father is someone who I
can talk to alone about a question I
don’t understand.
He is someone who can do
almost anything with me.
He keeps the house and keeps us
in peace!
My father is more than just a
father, he’s a friend!

look up to. He is always there

My dad is very important to me.
He gave me a family and accepted
me in this family. When I’m in the
dumps, I am always supported by
my father. He takes me very many
fun places and provides me with
food and clothing. I hope someday
I can be such a good father like
him.

A
father is someone to look up
to, someone who can fix anything
that goes wrong. A father jokes,
laughs, gets mad, etc.
Dads can be fun most of the
time, but they do have bad times
too, like most people. Fathers put
up with your bad moods and your
messy room.

To me, fathers mean a lot of fun
and they’re always there to help
you when you don’t know how to
fix something. Fathers also have
time to play ball on a Sunday
afternoon.
