🌟A huge thank you to Pastor Chris and some some incredible members of his high school youth group from Life Springs Church for their incredible help today! 🌟
Due to our floor replacements this summer, our desks and chairs were outside for a large part of the summer and needed a thorough wipe down. This hardworking group stepped in to clean everything up, ensuring our classrooms are ready for the new school year.
We are truly grateful for their partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration with Life Springs Church this year. Your support means the world to us! 💖✨
