"APFLH Children's Art Studio- March Madness"

It is officially Spring...

weather warming
birds singing

 and children's play and laughter
reminding of younger days

It is my absolute favorite season!

To commemorate, we've decided to

unlock the back room
dust off the furniture
pull out the art materials

to open...
