Welcome to Challenge B Good

This site is dedicated to helping the CC Durham Challenge B group through sharing information about events, class schedule, year milestones as well as class material.

My son, do not lose sight of these— keep sound wisdom and discretion,
and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.
Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.

-Proverbs 3:21-23
