THE EARTH AND THE SUN - celebration of life

A celebration of life is a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday by honoring a child's life and accomplishments. Here are few of our Magnolia students who celebrated their birthdays during the month of April. Their parents participated in the celebration and they brought pictures for each year of their life and told a short life story during the celebration. We thank them for making their child's celebration a meaningful and memorable event.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLEIGH!
