Kid Zone









When the parents come to the ESL classes, they can bring their children and take them to the children's library. Mr. Blinn the Children's Librarian has fun activities to keep them entertained. Last night they played games, put puzzles together, had a puppet show, watched a movie and played computer games. The kids really had a blast. Thank you Mr. Blinn for the fun evening!

Terrific Teachers



We have two volunteer teachers that have been devoting their time to help others. Corky and Bev are two ladies that are making a huge difference in our community. The pictures above are of Corky teaching last nights class. Thank you ladies! You are the best!
