Elizabeth led us in singing lantern songs in preparation for the Lantern Walks coming up next week, so we have a better chance of singing along in the dark. We took a survey, with uncooperative pens, which the school will use to better plan events, gatherings, and volunteer opportunities. We would love to hear from everyone! If you weren't there, please stop by the office and grab a survey. Putting your name on it is completely optional. Thanks to everyone who came out.
