A musical moment from Trade Show 2014

A fun moment in our day today at the 4th annual Christmas Trade Show & Bake Walk.  Awesome!  Thanks to all of our parent and student volunteers who donated baking and raffle prizes, and gave so freely of their time and energy.  The event would not have been possible without you!
