February has been such a FUN and exciting month for our CLJ Circle of Friends group! ❤️
Check out this fun obstacle course that was created by our peers. Everyone was paired up and hooked together, which meant they had to communicate, cooperate, and work as a team to make it through each challenge. There were lots of laughs, encouragement, and teamwork along the way. What a fun and memorable experience for everyone involved!
