Today @ the Lower School

This week in the Lower School ~ May 4, 2012

Chapel

Dr. Lori Conklin, parent of third grader Isabella, led Chapel this week and talked about how once an unkind word or action is done, it can’t be taken back. Ask your son or daughter how she demonstrated this with toothpaste!
