We had TOO much FUN hosting our friends from Gage's Newcomer Program today ... bubbles, laughter, hulu hoops and more. They were so impressed by the size of JM, the mural, the fields, the floral class and Mr. Glandon's math class (they want him for a teacher some day!).
The JM Relay for Life Committee was hard at work this morning planning for the May 10 event.
Come connect with other JM caregivers for casual conversation over coffee and rolls. No registration required. JM staff will be invited, if you'd like to ask questions.
