And this year the packages are going to BLOW YOUR MIND!!!

Thanks to funds raised from our previous raffles we have been able to accomplish so many amazing things that have helped us to create our extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, top-notch learning center and preschool!

Every one of these things has benefitted our students, staff, families, school and Church exponentially and that is all because of YOU!
