Thank you for your donations of school supplies for our partner school, Ramos Elementary, collected during July and August by the congregation and attendees of Vacation Bible School. The teachers at Ramos were thrilled, saying this was the largest donation of school supplies ever! We’re so grateful for your support of the students, teachers, and staff of the school.
