The preschool and elementary children have finished Sunday Morning Discovery Station for the year. We will break for the Spring and Summer and resume in September. Thanks to all the kids and their families for participating. We learned a lot and through attendance earned many anti-malaria mosquitos nets. Thanks to all the teachers who gave their time to lead a workshop. God Bless!
