SOLSTICE

Last week, we went to Arbor to watch the school's biggest performance called Solstice. This is a school-wide function, and each year there is a different theme. Potlatch, a gift-giving Native American ceremony was this year's theme.

Nicholas' class and the other primary class played different animals and performed in a skit about the balance between the earth, the elements, and us all. As you can see below, he was a fish.






There was a lot of singing and drumming, and the Seniors wore Native American robes of power.

Finally, Solstice closed with this song.



The chorus says it all: "My own life is all I can hope to control. Let my life be lived for the good, the good of us all. Let it bring peace. Sweet peace. Peace will come. Let it begin with me!"

Sniff. Sniff. Pass the kleenex please...
