Bill and Christine Isaac
care deeply about our community and its children, so when the
Education Foundation approached them about the need for a new
playground at Emma E. Booker Elementary School, they were quick to
respond. With two beautiful children, Lennon, 6, and Quinn, 4, they
understand the value of active play. |
