ACTIVITIES
Evenings and weekends include social outings to plays, dinners, movies, concerts, rodeos, and other events. In most cases, the homes go together to these events, as one large family.

FROM OUR CITIZENS
“I love Egypt History, I have lots of books on this subject. My Home Teacher let me lead the course for Brookwood College. I taught about how they mummified the dead. We had fun activity using toilet paper to wrap each other up. It was a big hit and everyone asked me to teach class next time”
