Thank you Principal Wiedenhoft for being an amazing DJ (and photographer) at the 7th grade silent disco. There were about 40 kids in attendance and let me tell you, everyone had a blast! Kids from other groups (drama, gymnastics) would come out on their breaks and join the fun with their friends a few minutes.

Another big thanks to our parent chaperones and Wegmans for the donated snacks. cs
