WE had our Kick-Off Party and ENJOYED getting to know each other!

We had VISITORS come all the way from CO Springs as well!

We Played a Getting to know you GAME! 

The Reddekopps even made it here from down south! It was such a treat to see them!

You read a question then tossed the ball to the person you wanted to answer that question!
