Cougars' Community Service

The Cougars spent a snowy Saturday in March working in the local community.  First Baptist Church of Maryville is preparing their new addition for it's grand opening on Sunday, April 10th and the Cougars were excited to help them get ready.  We spent the day in the new Preschool wing doing all sorts of things from painting, cleaning, organizing and moving resources from the old wing to the new one.  It was a great day and we were happy to lend a helping hand!
