Because Brecknock Cares Day of Service

in Memory of Mrs. Horning

On Thursday, May 20th, Brecknock will honor Mrs. Lisa Horning by doing something that was dear to her heart….serving others. For years Mrs. Horning encouraged her students to show compassion for others by supporting organizations that help people in need.
