With our second graders carefully looking on, our eighth graders presented the May Crowning today. In addition to being an ancient prayer of our church, this May Crowning is an opportunity for our entire community to see our eighth grade class - usually hard at work as students and athletes, suddenly transformed into beautiful, handsome, elegant young women and men, wearing their Sunday finest.
I hope they will long remember the experience of standing in the sanctuary - all 73 of them
- and looking out at the rest of the students sang to them.
We are proud of our eighth graders' efforts and achievements, and were happy to celebrate with them.
