A NOTE ABOUT LEARNING TREE'S CONSTITUENT CHURCH

We are so thankful and blessed that our Dalton Adventist Church family is extremely supportive of Learning Tree and gives generously to our school on a monthly basis. Our school will give our church family the opportunity to donate through announcements in the church bulletin, but if you are related to someone, or if they are good friends of your family, or they request to sponsor you, go ahead and invite them!

Thank you for your support and for sharing the good news about quality Christian education available at Learning Tree!
