Seniors pull off a great prank!

 The Class of 2013 surprised us all today with a Master Mine. They had decorated the Upper School as a giant mountain, complete with a forest. Inside this mountain were a series of mine shafts and tunnels. Very creative!

 Some of our miners outside the mine.

 Believe it or not, this mining hospital room is actually Elise's office. Quite a set-up.

 Here, you can see Annie coming out of the forest. Other miners are digging for gold.

 Sadly, some of the miners were dealing with black lung disease. They had to be carried to the hospital room.

Welcoming miners. Thanks, Seniors! Your prank was lots of fun!
