The Preschool Program has a new view master that is 3D…it’s pretty cool. It requires a cell phone (not one that has a service plan…just the phone and a charger). If you have any one of these phones lying around the house…one that you are no longer using, we would love to have it so that the view master will have what it needs to work. You can leave your phone and charger in the church office.
