Exciting new developments!

There are many exciting things happening right now in the land of Perry. Here is a run-down of this week:

New volunteer!
Perry has a new volunteer, Rachel Schultz!
She comes to us from Huron High School, where she is vice president of the National Honor Society. She will be helping Miss Michelle and Miss Janis in the Gold room, where she will practice her Spanish-speaking skills.

Roxella was very excited to meet her last Thursday as she asked, "Are you going to stay?"

Perry Video
This week some of our parents, teachers, staff and board members already have or will soon view the draft of our video. The video, which includes parent testimonials, video of children, and staff relays the mission of Perry in a 7-minute time span.

It's emotional, funny at times, and very real. The parent testimonials really tugged at my heart, and made me want to run around and hug every child at Perry and their parents too.

The video will be shown at the "Legacy Builder's Breakfast" as well as at outreach events and presentations to potential sponsors and supporters.

Thanks to
Russell Video Services for their hard work!

Legacy Builder's Breakfast
