Huzzah for the 7th and 8th Grade Feast!
Posted by: | CommentsOn May 10, the seventh and eight grade class had a Medieval Feast, complete with costumes, candles, and lots of delicious food, all eaten with fingers of course. In line with their study of Christendom this year, the 7th and 8th grade Omnibus teacher, Mr. Roy Bradley, had the students prepare research papers on various medieval subjects, and the students presented short summaries of their papers at the feast.
Many thanks to the committee of moms who prepared the food, decorated, and planned the event.
Huzzah! The comely maidens and noble gents verily did wondrous well!
Bravo!
