SUPPORT DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS & ADMINISTRATORS

Stationary will be available in the plaza to write a letter there or to take home. Please drop letters off at the table or to the church office for distribution by Monday, February 26. The letters will be delivered the first week teachers return. Keep the name of that person with you as a reminder to continue to pray for them over the very difficult weeks to come.
