On Monday morning, during our spirit assembly, (most) students had a chance to do something completely new to them–putting a pillow into a pillow case (parents around the world rejoice)!  Although kids are quite efficient when loading up a pillow case with candy, this was an opportunity to try something a little more difficult.  House colors had to line up while two intermediate students went down the line assisting with the pillow packing!  For more pictures on this event, click on the Events & Pictures link on the right.
