We’ve been so blessed with all of our new children’s facilities. Recently, our new rocking chairs came in for our nursery suites. They are so beautiful and it was obvious that our volunteers loved them (some of them had to be coaxed out of them when it was time to leave for the morning!)
We’ve been asked, what happened to our older rocking chairs which still had a lot of life left in them? 
Well, as we have been blessed- wecan be a blessing. Our older rocking chairs found a new home at Harvard Park. A few of them were given to individual teachers who had a need in their classrooms while the majority will be used in the Harvard Park Reading room. This special room is set aside to encourage children to love reading. Classes of kids use this room every day for a time set aside just to curl up with a good book.
Thankful that God continues to give us the opportunity to be a part of such a great school!
