Administrator's Note

"We are so Blessed" is a quote that Paige Emmel stated upon winning the Region 5 Girls Basketball Tournament that propelled the team in to the Class B GBB State Tournament for only the second time in Shiloh's history.  This statement caused me to think back to my growing up years in church, where there was this hymn that we sang all the time titled, "Count Your Blessings." I don't think I have sung that song in years, but I still remember the lyrics.

"Count your blessings, name them one by one,
count your many blessings see what God hath done."

It is important to have regular times in our life where we pause and specifically take note of what God has done for us.  As we move into the 4th quarter, I want to say a long overdue Thank You to many of you for making this year such an exciting time at Shiloh!  Although it has been extremely busy,  we truly have been blessed in so many ways.  Lets count just a few of the highlights!
