Our
Annual Christmas Store was a success! With community donations, we were able to give away toys, clothes, electronics, and much more. While adults were shopping the store, children were occupied with fun activities from coloring to playing tennis. Thank you to everyone who volunteered and donated to make it all possible.

CHRISTMAS PROGRAMS WERE A HUGE SUCCESS!

Our Early Childhood Christmas Program was presented by PK2 through Kindergarten students. Each student had a chance to present as they shared the seven principals of Kwanzaa, the week-long celebration of African American culture.

Lower and Middle school students showcased the Brown’s Motown Christmas. The students did an exceptional job as they performed a musical about Ford and Ailey Brown rediscovering the Christmas spirit after the Detroit Riot in 1967.
