Of the People, For the People

This year's folk song program included songs from everyday life and songs of protest. We had a big, happy crowd, who sang along with the students and watched the children demonstrate square dancing (accompanied by the Yahoos).

Below you can see five of the students who have been at the school since year one. They are singing "Hard Times".


There was a silent auction and student bazaar as well. Many friends of the school donated items for the auction, and the children made and sold any number of sweets and wares. Here's Chloe and her pumpkin pies...


Several children encouraging our guests to empty their pockets at their booths...



Soup...lots of soup...
