Two retired school teachers created an exciting Saturday for the kids at Cherokee Home for Children October 22nd. Charles and Suzanne Jones of Woodson, Texas brought two of their horses, Joe and Sandy to visit the children’s home located 15 miles south of San Saba. The couple conceived the idea for Cowboy Day following a presentation by Cherokee Home at their local church in Woodson, Texas. Charles, a retired Ag teacher, presented a horse training program for the children and staff, emphasizing spiritual and life lessons that can be learned in the training process. Following that, the children lined up to participate in a number of activity stations that included a bullwhip cracking contest, a roping competition, and horseshoe games. After a lunch consisting of cowboy stew and cornbread, Suzanne, a former kindergarten teacher, invited the children to write poems or stories about what they had learned. The children were also encouraged to draw pictures about the events. At the end of the day, prizes were given to all the participants. Pictures of the events are posted on Cherokee Home for Children’s website, www.chc4kids.org and on Facebook.Cherokee Home for Children is a religiously affiliated basic care facility serving children ages 2 to 18 who need shelter and care.
