Grace Place is looking for volunteers who are willing to help us this summer building low surrounding walls around both the Kindermusik and Godly Play classrooms. Right now both classrooms are surrounded with temporary walls. We feel that permanent low structure walls will provide discipline and safety to children who use these classrooms.
