The end of the school year is in the books! We are so grateful to you – donors, volunteers, praying people – for loving your Parker Street neighbors throughout this school year and for allowing us to be open for students 1,204 hours to offer safe haven and academic enrichment. “Better is the ending of a thing than the beginning” . . . Ecc 7:8. Sometimes this verse is hard to understand but just think of the school year and you might have an idea.
