The attendance for the After School Program is absolutely great. There are approximately 45
children enrolled this 2010-11 school year. We have an excellent group of teachers who are wonderful
at helping the children with their homework assisngments and school projects as well as planning fun activities
for the children to do afterwards. Our group of students are eager and excited to learn, have fun and come
to the Center each day. Parents are so supportive in whatever way we need them to be.
I want to say a Big Thank-You to all the wonderful teachers, parents, children and volunteers who
come out during the day to help make all the programs here at the Center what they are--GREAT!
As the days of fall quickly move us into the holiday season, the Wallace Family Life Center is once again gearing
up for our annaul Sponsor-A-Child program. We are currently seeking individuals, churches and businesses to
sponsor at least one child or family for this Christmas.
As a sponsor, you will be given a child and list of their sizes in clothing, socks, and shoes as well
as a list of toys and other items they would like for Christmas. We have over 45 families that need sponsoring.
With hard economic times many families have lost jobs or had to take a severe cut in pay and are struggling to make ends meet.
The WFLC would like to help these families still enjoy the holiday season and to show them that hope is still available even
during these difficult times. So, if you or your group/business are interested in sponsoring a child and/or family please
contact us: (843) 479-7991.
Below is list of other ongoing programs currently being offered at the Wallace Family Life Center:
-
After School Program (Mon-Fri)

to raise money for our building fund. You can also assist the Center by printing out the Bi-Lo BoosterPlus Barcodes
