Agapè Children’s Center is getting a Fence!!!  I believe this may have been a dream in the past, but now it is a reality!  This fence around our playground facility will only enhance the safety of every child at Agapè!  This is our #1 concern.  Keeping our preschoolers safe, is just as important as reinforcing their ABC’s!!

Agapè, through the grant writing of Jennifer Johnson, one of our parents, and the Agapè Preschool Board Parent Representative, was not one of the schools picked for a grant.  So, what next???  We decided to go full steam ahead by obtaining volunteers!  Letters were sent, calls were made, etc.

Dick Gathman, a member of Community Baptist Church, along with Jennifer Johnson, went about obtaining prices for materials, rental equipment for the installation, and donations to help defray the cost of materials.  We have the “sweat equity” and this project has emerged!

On May 8th, the posts were dug with the volunteer labor of Church members and Preschool Parents.  On Saturday May 15th, we will complete this amazing masterpiece!  Gloria Langston, our Agapè Board President, has written to the local Warrenville papers and shared this story.  We have a hospitality committee, mainly made up of Parents, to satisfy the hunger and thirst areas, and make sure they stay hydrated!

We have t-shirts of our 4 year old class, with self-portraits created by these talented young artists, and any profits from this sale will help offset the materials used.  We appreciate the generosity that everyone has shown in helping to erect this fence!  We have created more than a fence, we have created…a community!!
