MUSIC & CHAPEL
Our music classes are taught by licensed teacher Mrs. Lori Fuller. All classes participate in hands-on, fun lessons involving instruments, singing, movement and musical play. To help the children grow spiritually and build their faith development, Mrs. Fuller also leads Chapel each week with a short, energizing message.
