Afterward, as a project for our families, they made a Muriel for F.I.C’s toddler room with a forest theme. In addition, the study room was livened up to make it a more vibrant atmosphere for our students to study and do their school assignments. Needless to say our Families were very happy and grateful with the visit from EKU. SJOM looks forward to partnering up with EKU for years to come.
