Q: When are the Decorating Days?
A: We will need many hands to transform the cafeteria into our EVEREST themed VBS location! No artist skills needed, just a willing attitude! Think of a "cool" atmosphere with mountain peaks, billows of snow, a base camp of tents and of course, mountain animals! Join us for an hour or all day!
