Now located at 4545 Myra Ave., the first week was full of activities centered around partnering with the community and helping students kick off the school year. The celebration began with neighbors, community leaders and school families being invited to an Open House, where the Carl’s Jr. truck served up some delicious hamburgers. New families and old friends were able to re-connect, teachers were able to show off their classrooms and all gathered to pray for blessings and protection of the school and all of the students, teachers and staff.
