FESTIVAL OF LEARNING
Festival of Learning is a program for all children from 4 to 18 years.  The intention is to help them achieve good grades so that when they graduate from high school they will have the knowledge to attain their goals in life and to help them get scholarships.

Every Saturday beginning in September to the end of the school year in June, volunteers of all ages work with young people from the ages of 4 to 18.  The volunteers help them with homework and tutoring in math, reading, science and various other subjects.  The volunteers work with the younger children, teach early reading skills.  The Festival of Learning starts at 9:00 am and lasts until 11:00 am.  Everyone (all ages) are welcome to come in to learn or help others to learn.

GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR CLOTHES:  We will also be collecting gift certificates for use by children and their families.  Recommended stores are Wal-Mart, Target and Kmart, in addition to Mall Certificates. Many of the children served by DCF do not have adequate resources to allow the purchase of new clothing. Teens are especially sensitive to this loss.

PLEASE MARK ALL ITEMS WITH COVENANT TO CARE. THANK YOU
