OUR Blues in the Community!
Two of our groups, the Blue Roses and the Blue Crew, spent some time out in the community this week (at two different locations). Our Blue Crew visited Baldwin ES next door and worked with them. OUR Blue Roses went to a beauty school to see how things happen there. Here are some pictures from their outings.
