On Saturday, May 3rd, our entire school community and the community at large gathered on campus for the annual International Festival. Dozens of tents filled with international food, games, activities and vendors created a large ring around the soccer field. On the field were fun things to do like human fooseball, sumo wrestling in huge padded suits, and a big stage where talent was displayed. Cora's dance team did a few numbers, and Hannah participated in the hula hoop competition, while Rebecca played volleyball with her friends all afternoon and evening. A few highlights of the day included Cora donating 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love (a charity that donates hair to be made into wigs for cancer patients), LeeAnne getting dunked in rapid succession for 10 minutes in the dunk tank, and Brian spending several hours painting henna tattoos on people to raise money for the Beulah Home (India) booth. The day ended with a spectacular display of fireworks and the excellent feeling of being surrounded by friends in a loving community.
