The CCD program is in need of teachers and aides for the younger grades for Fall of 2018. We've had so many wonderful teachers throughout the years, and are now hoping to add a few more. If you can volunteer for either teaching or being a classroom aide, please call John A. at 822-1297 as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support to the CCD program and children!
