| A panoramic photo of the Fall Festival.
Special thanks to our co-chairs: Nicole Abry, Heather Koz, and Cindy Ridge for their organization and hard work. And to all the volunteers (parents and faculty/staff) who worked a booth, drove a shuttle bus, served food, decorated, chaperoned the After Party, etc. It takes a village to pull off a successful Fall Festival.
Thank you all!
