Fall flew past us..

Here we are on November 30th, almost December!! Our kids have been busy studying, working hard, and playing hard too! We have had wonderful opportunities provided to us through our partners and our staff throughout the fall. Here are some snapshots of what has been going on!

Summer went fast..

School has started here at CFA, but we can't forget the 4 wonderful weeks in which we partnered with Communities in Schools of Arizona to have a summer program for our kids! Here are a few of many pictures that were captured during those 4 weeks.

What a difference a week makes...

To the Arizona Tree Council, Mr. Bob Franchetto, the leadership and crew at GroundsKeeper, Horizon, Steve, Arizona Landscape Contractors Association, Alternative Edge, Ditch Witch...thank you so very much.

The behind the scenes designs, meetings, coordination, execution will make a monumental difference in the lives of our wonderful children.
