Great Falls Students Find After-school Support At Salvation Army

After almost a full month of students being back at school, I am hopeful that all of them have found a rhythm to their day and activities to keep occupied.  But for those kids or families (that includes you Mom and Dad) that haven't, there is a way to help get into a groove for the year.

In Great Falls, the local chapter of the Salvation Army is lending a hand to students in public, private and home schools to gather several days a week and enjoy a multitude of different activities and programs for the new school year.
