Legos Requested for C.F.F.
The teachers at Christian Faith and
Fellowship (CFF) that meets each
Wednesday after school at First St. John
Lutheran Church ask that anyone having
used Legos stuck away in a closet that
children are not currently using to lend
or give them for the children's
enjoyment during the CFF sessions. It
has been a winter with lots of adverse
weather that does not lend itself to
outdoor games and recreation, and the
children enjoy building and playing with
Legos in their classrooms during
inclement weather.
If you have any Legos to donate or
share, please contact one of the
teachers, Elizabeth Hagman, Robin
Billings, or Linda Rahjes, or leave them
at the Church. Be sure to put your name
on the container if you want them
returned at the end of the season. CFF
children and teachers say thank you for
your support!! |
