Youth campaign for Playground at Ferncliff Village
A dynamic "can-do" group of students have come together to raise money for the Playground at

The idea of creating birdhouses to sell to support housing for others was their

 The team includes Sarah Bershinski, Leah Mulholland, Makaila O'Brien, (pictured) Katrina Kerrigan and Bella Crowley. Want to help?? Learn more or contact HRB at 842-1909 4#
