The cards are being printed as you read this and sets of 9 cards (3 of each design) will be given as a Christmas gift to all families and staff of Sojourner Truth Academy. You can get your very own package of 9 cards as a gift if you make a donation of $10 or more to help us cover costs of this project. Special thanks goes to STA art teacher Erik Lundgren, Renee Kraemer and Luke Trouten for layout and design help, and Dave Lundell and Anchor Paper for their donation of 3,000 envelopes!
