May Day

There's a certain chemistry that surrounds campus on this day every year.  There's so much that goes into May Day- a lot of planning, even more communication, and lots and lots of practice!  Students are prepared for a performance.  Parents, families, and friends are all welcome to enjoy the event.  Many times students (and sometimes teachers) will receive leis as an honor of achievement and recognition.  I love the performances, the community, and culture of this day. However, what a whirlwind!  I am relieved to say this day is over.

Here are some pictures from today.  The students look awesome (and so cute)!  Please excuse the order.  It's not in sequence.

The fifth grade girls (my first class ever)
