Schools / Virginia Beach / Staff / Testimonials / Mary, mother of 3

Our once introverts…wanted to try out for their elementary school variety show.  K. stepped up to the microphone…said loud and clear to the entire cafeteria of folks trying out and to the judges “I am K. P. and I am going to do Savior 2 and my brother is going to do Chon-Ji”.  They were the “crispest” I have seen them, confident, and did not appear nervous at all!  These are NOT the same boys that started at SMA last spring.  The transformation is incredible.  God definitely led us where we needed to be to help these boys grow!
