Braving Rochester Weather

Congratulation to our fearless students who braved the rainy Rochester weather today to attend our largest festival of the year - the Lilac Festival.

Lilac Festival Web Site
  I was worried this morning when I saw the cloudy, grey skies.  Then when the rain began to fall, I thought for sure that no one would want to go.  Fortunately, I was mistaken.  I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful flowers, delicious food, live music, crafts and people.  I look forward to hearing your stories and seeing some pictures.  Please send me some photos, so I can post them to our blog.
This is just the beginning!   There will be many more festivals all summer long -- check out this link:  Rochester Events Listings
