We love the @HuntsvTXLibrary and all they do for our community!

Last week some of our girls had the opportunity to volunteer at our local library for Builders Club. We appreciate the invite and can’t wait to come back in the fall for more fun! #EatEmUpKats x #WinTheDay x #NoLimitsOnUs #CUSACares

We had two professors share their Academic Community Engagement (ACE) experiences with us! Dr. O’Brien’s class worked with the Huntsville Walker County Chamber of Commerce on their visual identify, while Professor Garrison’s class worked with Second Preschool on prospect packets.
