Parents/Readers on the Web:
• Spring fever? Start some spring cleaning! When you clean out your closets consider donating the “soft goods” to help the 7th-12th grade students support Angel Drapeau. Items collected will go to Goodwill, who in return will give money toward Angel’s training for YWAM in Orlando, FL. Soft goods include clothes, shoes, purses, and stuffed animals. Put them in garbage bags and drop them off at school by February 27th!
