Calling all employees with children that are between 6 and 8 years old, or around first grade: The MarCom team is working on our upcoming round of billboards and the next one is for our MAT program.

We are in need of a couple of kids to be “taught” by one of our recent MAT alumni for our photoshoot taking place this Saturday, March 6, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the C.S. Lewis Academy.
