RECENT FUN IN RHETORIC SCHOOL: PIGFEST AND CARL SANDBURG HIKE


Last week the Rhetoric School participated in the annual Pigfest tradition, which included breakfast offsite hosted by Rhetoric school families. This event allowed the senior students to share their thesis ideas and research with a group of students who engage them in various aspects of their work. 


The Rhetoric School also traveled to the Carl Sandburg home and hiked to the top of Big Glassy for a special chapel experience. They followed up their hike with a wonderful time drinking hot chocolate and coffee at ShareWell Coffee in Flat Rock.
