The Junior Auxiliary of Searcy (JA) pitched in with Sunshine School Summer Camp by assisting the students with painting serving platters, bowls, saucers and cups.
Each year the Sunshine School holds a three-day summer camp at Searcy’s Camp Wyldewood, located at 155 Riverside Park Road and each year JA shows support for the school by participating in the camp.
“We are so honored to be able to come out to Camp Wyldewood for the Sunshine School’s summer camp. It’s a fun way to wrap up the summer and we always feel blessed for having been a part of the camp in a small way,” said JA Sunshine School Chairperson Kristi Valencia.
