In September 2017, New Life Trails president Deborah Spears spent three days at McCord School Library. There, she worked with Librarian/Assistant Principal, Ginger Henley to implement New Life Learning kindergarten academic materials funded by N.O.A.T.F. Three classes of kindergarteners, sixty plus students, will be using New Life Learning academic books to review, build, and reinforce consonants, vowels, sight words, and 
sounds.
