Some children painted flowers while other children created artwork including rain, grass, and the sun. Some children even worked together to make group collages.

Summer 5's Lemonade Stand

Over the summer, our Summer 5s children put together a weekly lemonade stand to help support the Cowden family, a local family who lost their house in a fire. The 5's made the stand, the lemonade, flyers, posters, and then sold the lemonade each week. Now, a few weeks later, Mom reports, "Our family is doing well, and our spirits are high thanks to all the love and support from our family, friends, and especially our community. We have experienced lots of blessings amid all the challenges. After a hectic summer, we are finally settled in a furnished rental house."


Woods CDC is blessed to be part of such a caring Severna Park Community.
