VICTORIAN TEA 
Senior Tradition 

Seniors were treated to a Victorian Tea today!  They enjoyed a wide array of Christmas treats prepared and donated by our faculty & staff.  The seniors welcomed the quiet time away in the library which had been transformed into a festive and elegant setting complete with china teacups, red and green table clothes and Christmas music.  Our thanks to the Counseling Department for making this day memorable for the seniors!
