Serving at South Graham Elementary/C4C
  • At the start of each school year, every student at South Graham receives a book of his/her very own, donated by our church?

  • Our Book Buddies recently went to Fifth Street Books in Mebane and selected 700 books to be distributed when school starts in August?
  • Our Library Ministry Team cleaned, labeled, and sorted those 700 books by grade level?

Good things are happening at South Graham Elementary, thanks to our fabulous C4C volunteers. We thank you for your generosity to this mission and welcome your continued monetary support of these important activities. We give thanks for the impact of our efforts during this school year and look forward to the next!
