Second-grade students at Loganville Christian Academy got a lesson in hard living when the recreated a Colonial Village.

The students have been studying the Colonial era of America, and each student took on a role in the village. The cast included shopkeepers, as well as famous and not-so-famous villagers.

The students learned what that person would have done in a typical day. They also took on a Biblical perspective and thought about how this person would need to do their job if he or she were a Christian. Students, faculty, staff, parents and grandparents visited villagers throughout the day.
