Our talented and poised Middle School students, Ari Flanagan and Sydney Pinochet, were the masters of ceremony. As <\/span>part of our cultural program, t<\/span>he students and parents enjoyed a special presentation of songs played on a\u00a0 didgeridoo, a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia around 1,500 years ago.\u00a0<\/span>After the performance, the students enjoyed pony rides, petting goats, arts and crafts, and snow cones. This festival is a favorite\u00a0of the students, parents and faculty. It is a wonderful way to welcome fall\u00a0while creating a sense of community.<\/p>\n
