After a break from the pandemic, we finally felt it was safe to bring back the children fashion show. It was highly requested and we couldn't wait to see their children again. From the day they all first met at training, we seen relationships being built.
This year we added some major opportunities for children to have a special mini photo session, official flyer contest, and cover model contest. They also received a goodie bag filled while school supplies to help further their education outside of the classroom.
