Posted on March 15, 2015 by BrendaS in Uncategorized.On January 31 st., we took the 10th grade class for a special sabbath afternoon picnic, hike, and Adventist Youth program at a beautiful place in the mountains. Then on February 10 & 11, we took them on an overnight picnic. Here are the pictures:
