'Tater Family' Speaks to New Testament Students

Elementary students at New Testament Christian School in Norton welcomed guest speakers at their weekly Chapel. 

“We were blessed to have the “Tater Family” minister with us. The children had fun learning valuable character traits and morals,”  said fourth grade teacher and elementary chapel leader, Mrs. Donais.

The Tater Family was actually seven Mr. Potato Head figures created by the students.

“One by one, the 'Taters' got up to tell their stories which brought a laugh and provoked thought among the children,”  Donaise said.

Highlights of the stories included:

• Some people seem motivated to participate, but are just content to watch while others do the work. They are called Speck Taters.
• Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted at finding fault with the way others work. They are called Common Taters.
• Some people are very bossy and like to tell others what to do, but don't want to soil their own hands. They are called Dick Taters,
• Some people are always looking to cause problems by asking others to agree with them. They are called Agie Taters.
• There are those who say they will help, but somehow just never get around to actually doing anything. They are called Hezzie Taters.
• Then there are those who love others and do what they say they will and stop whatever they are doing and lend a helping hand. They are “Ima Taters”.

“Lets all be Ima Taters of all that is good: Eph 5:12 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us,” Donais encouraged.
