Together they enjoyed designing potted plants inserts and planting flowers while having snacks during the school break.

If you are interested in making a difference in a child’s life, there are students waiting for a pen pal. Pen pals write once a month and get together for meet and greets during school breaks and summertime. For more information about the pen pal project, please contact Teena Tomlinson at 714-229-6677.
