Creativity shined and faith burned bright within the students at Holy Family School in Dale City recently as they used imagination to grow closer to Christ.

For the preschoolers, each Wednesday is an opportunity to learn more about Christ with Cathy Kovac, preschool director, and the assistance of her flower puppet, Petals.
