Lori Connell

“As soon as my daughter, Jessica, started attending CtR the year the school opened, I knew I wanted to work there. The following year, I was able to work as an after care teacher and the next year I was blessed with the opportunity to be the Before and After School Care Program Coordinator.  I am thankful every day that I get to work in an environment that keeps God's love at the center of everything.“
