July Family Work Days
There is a lot happening at the school this summer and the Academy is looking really “spiffy”. Two family work days were held in July and we had an awesome turnout -- maybe 35-40 people!! A lot of the younger people joined in too. It is rewarding to know as individuals we can make a difference.
If anyone happened to take any pictures during the work days, please be sure to contact Brenda Butler to have them included here!
