And a few more shots of the event…

The journey over...
...on a fairly rocky ride.
Upper school class fundraisers.
Gingerbread house raffle,
Gift card tree raffle and more,
Christmas wreath sale,
new Fishers t-shirts on the way,
the awesome dessert auction.
Intermission and a chance...
to visit the art exhibit.
And appreciated assistance from the tech crew
and the photographers.
Watching the big kids.
The opening act and photographer's favorite!
