Dreaming of Disney! 15 of our choir members competed in Festival Disney in Orlando! After a fun flight, they got to experience 3 of the 4 Disney parks, spent time practicing in ride lines, met some characters, gained friendship, and made lifelong memories. We came home with an awesome plaque, a rating of excellent, and a drive to go back and do better next time! Opportunities like these make our choir members #proudtoroar!

We are still in awe of how colorful, energetic, and extremely awesome our annual Sources of Strength Color Run was on Friday! Thank you to Mrs. Montgomery! She does so many things behind the scenes that make that night possible and without her, we wouldn't be able to do it! Thank you to everyone who came and made Friday a night to remember!
