Jody Donovan, chairman of the Bethany Preschool community capital campaign and preschool volunteer, reads to the Butterflies class at the preschool on Thursdays each week. In addition to the staff of the preschool, members and staff of Bethany Lutheran Church are actively involved in supporting the mission of the preschool which has been in continuous operation for over 40 years. The planned $7.5-million, state-of-the-art preschool facility, to be located downtown at the corner of West Austin and North Crockett streets, will allow the preschool to double the number of children and families in the community positively impacted through quality preschool education. — Submitted photo
