Enrichment Programs
Here's to year FIVE of Valle Crucis's very special Enrichment Programming! Our enrichment program was started thanks to a generous grant by the Celia Lipton Farris and Victor W. Farris Foundation Home Community Fund, a component of the fund of the North Carolina Community Foundation.
