Test your brain! Use the text tool to write what you think is the correct answer! Work on these for a few minutes while we wait for others to arrive!
Ice Breaker Brain TeasersDaniel, my son, is exactly one fifth of my age. In 21 years time, I will be exactly twice his age. My wife is exactly seven times older than my daughter,
Jessica. In 8 years time, my wife will be three times older then Jessica. How old are Daniel and Jessica now?
A woman carefully steers with her pedal to the metal. She has covered the length of a football field while leaving a neat row of tracks behind her. Yet after the last yard, when she stands up, she's in
the place where she began. Even though she didn't go in a circle or turn back, this is normal for her. What has just happened?
Every dawn begins with me,At dusk I'll be the first you see,And daybreak couldn't come withoutWhat midday centers all about.Daises grow from me, I'm toldAnd when I come, I end all cold,But in the sun I won't be found,Yet still, each day I'll be around.

The woman is a professional seamstress and she has just finished sewing through yards of fabric at top speed. The tracks she left behind were stitches, so it would have been
strange if she had ended up anywhere except where she'd begun!

Letter writing campaign to soldiers overseas. Gather up your friends, relatives, and other
community members to write letters to service men and women overseas.
Starting in January 2010 – February 2010 Send them to us here at Keystone by March
1st so that we can get them sent out! 920 Central Road
Bloomsburg, PA 17815
What should the letter include?
Make the letter chatty Introduce yourself Talk about things you enjoy doing “Thinking of You” Thanking them for their service
It can be a letter or a card. They do not need to be in envelopes.
Please, no glitter – it causes a mess in it’s travels!
Letter writing Tips
Your letter can be short, it doesn’t need to be very long.
Soldiers miss their own families- so tell what you and your family are doing.
Say “thanks” or say you’re proud of the job they do as a soldier.
Wish them a safe return.
What should our goal be?
We will keep track of how many letters we have collected on our website – so keep a close eye!
How many letters should we aim for?
100 letters?
If everyone can get 10-15 letters written and sent in we will meet that goal easily!
Sample letter – Try google for other samplesDear Soldier, We are so proud of you and
thank you for your great service to our nation and to the world. We think of your daily in our prayers and hope that your work will be complete soon so that you might return to be with those you love. We want you to feel the support and encouragement we hope you find as we reach out today. Thank you for effort and dedication. You are missed, remembered, and honored at home.
Sincerely, First Name
