MLK Jr. Celebration in full swing! January 14, 2010

When I walked into the drumming rehearsal last night, my breath was taken away by the numbers of drummers. They were everywhere! Drummers of all ages, from little ones to adults...all with big smiles on their faces. Under Jonathan Henderson's leadership, they were coming together and creating amazing rhythms. Earlier in the day, Ann Atwater captivated her audience of Middle and Upper School students as she spoke of her personal experiences with Civil Rights, or as she said, "Poor people's rights." Dancers have been reuniting for rehearsal and review. And we continue to make masks.

Jonathan Henderson teaches a rhythm to two of the drummers. Over 40 enthusiastic rhythm-makers were in attendance.

Mike Hanas greets Ann Atwater and welcomes her to CFS.
One of our young readers at the Poetry Potluck with her mother.

Middle School dancers run through their routine while Upper School dancers try on their masks.

TONIGHT:
Former CFS parent, Tom Magnuson, is a local historian who researches the trading paths of the Native Americans in North Carolina, dating back to the 1700's. These paths came right across Mt. Sinai road and along Rt. 10. Stories of these trading paths involve Native Americans, African Americans, and Quakers. We hope you will join us for Tom's lively talk this evening (Thursday) in the Upper School Meeting Hall at 7:00 tonight.

DON'T FORGET THE PARADE ON SATURDAY AT NOON!

Peace and Blessings,

Carrie
