It's the 1960s and police forensics are rudimentary. Luckily the residents of Great Slaughter, nestled deep in the British countryside, have a secret weapon. Sister Boniface. If there's evidence to be found, Boniface will find it, with a little help from dashing maverick DI Sam Gillespie and buttoned-up Bermudan Ds Felix Livingstone, who's horrified to be stuck in the eccentric world of Great Slaughter. A corpse is found stuffed inside a dummy at the local fair; tragedy hits a visiting TV crew, and a gruesome discovery is made in Edie's beloved allotment plot. It's down to Sister Boniface, and a few hasty Hail Mary's to save the day.
When Maria rips her brother Robbie's favorite book, she's worried that they might never be friends again. But with encouragement and wise words from family friend Ms. Bea, Maria learns to embrace the beauty of broken things and seize the opportunity they offer for healing and reconciliation. A heartfelt celebration of the perfect imperfections that surround us in our everyday lives.
We're excited to be working with Inspiredu to bring valuable digital literacy programs to your community! As we plan for the rest of 2025, we'd like to invite you to explore our programs and how they could benefit you and your family. Please review the programs below and click the orange "program survey" button above to take the survey.
We offer two tiers of programs:
Tier I: Learning Spark, Each household will receive one refurbished laptop upon completion of one of the following workshops.
Adult Digital Literacy Workshop: This workshop is designed for adults and covers fundamental computer skills. Participants are encouraged to continue their learning at home through online certifications, such as those offered by Microsoft. We also provide resources on free or low-cost internet options.
Family Learning Workshop: This workshop is aimed at parents/caregivers and children in grades PreK-12. It offers basic digital literacy skills and helps families navigate educational resources, as well as engage with their child’s education in a digital environment. Free or low-cost internet resources are also provided.
Tier II: Wellness, These workshops are for returning learners who have already completed Tier I, own their own laptop, and possess basic computer skills.
Telehealth: This workshop is conducted in partnership with the Georgia Hospital Association and its affiliates. Each session focuses on a different area of medicine, helping learners become more comfortable using telehealth resources on their laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. The classes are hybrid, allowing participants to join either in person or virtually.
Financial Literacy: These classes will be available starting in the spring and are led by financial planners, banks, credit unions, and other experts. The goal is to empower learners to create budgets, manage online accounts, protect their assets, learn to invest, and more—ultimately fostering financial wellness.
