Appreciation Brunches Continue

While all four of the elementary schools AFCC is honoring this month with teacher appreciation brunches and gifts, are geographically close to the church, Benjamin Franklin is just one block away.

By the time the teacher’s gathered in their meeting space for their 7:30AM meeting, a group of AFCC volunteers had already set up a great Christmas Brunch.  Of course, many other AFCC volunteers, not pictured, also made contributions to the four brunches being held this week by cooking, doing event clean up and through cash donations which the Neighborhood Engagement Ministry Team utilized for this project.

As most teachers quickly took advantage of the goodies, one stopped long enough to open the card and gift of tea, coffee and coca supplies for the staff break room that AFCC  sent along with the brunch.  All this was followed with the distribution of Our Kids Our Schools tote bags.

All of us should be particularly proud of Benjamin Franklin Elementary school as it was just recognized by Orange County as one of our Outstanding Elementary Schools.

This honor was prompted by the fact that test scores for Ben Franklin just hit the 804 mark –  a significant increase that reflects all the hard work of the entire staff.  That made today’s celebration even more note worthy.  Congratulations to every one at Ben Franklin.
