Special guest: Doug the Christian magician

Last week we had a visit from Doug, The Christian Magician. The kids LOVED having him here. He had their attention the entire time, and the teachers as well. He even made a real BUNNY appear!




Mr. Doug included the children to assist in some of his magic tricks! They were so eager and excited to be a part of it! We had a MAGICAL time :)



The kids were amazed by all of the money he found in their ears! He also made many things disappear, which had the whole room surprised- our teachers included! What an exciting time we had!!



The children's favorite part was definitely when Mr. Doug turned a fabric bunny into a LIVE bunny that we all got to pet and visit with! The kids faces lit up like a Christmas tree when he pulled the bunny out of the box. It was the perfect way to end his visit! Thank you SO much Mr. Doug. We can't wait for you to come see us again :)









Another special event we had here at Holly Tree last week was the memorial celebration for Ms. Vela's grandson, Kenneth Jones. Ms. Vela has been a teacher here for 15 years and has put her heart and soul into loving and teaching the kids and families here. We were honored to host a night dedicated to her and the celebration of her grandson. 
 


Thank you to Branches for helping put together all the details of this special night! We had a balloon release in remembrance of Kenneth. It was a time dedicated to prayer as we gathered around Vela with love and support.








We have dedicated a special bench out front with Kenneth's name on it. This is something special we could do for Ms. Vela that will be a daily reminder for her how much she is loved and honored. We appreciate her and the dedication she has had to Holly Tree for the past 15 years. 

WE LOVE YOU MS. VELA!!
