Water Fountain Donated to the Peoria Regional Learning Center |
|
Peoria Regional Learning Center (PRLC) was the recipient of a generous donation from
Friends of Fatherless Sons. Our students had a wish for a new water fountain with a water bottle dispenser.
With the generosity of Friends of Fatherless Sons and our very own West Peoria Mayor James Dillon installing the new unit, our students will return to school in August with their wish fulfilled. We can not say thank you enough for this generous donation!
