The feast, the party, and friends

The St James feast celebration is a big one for the school, but even after all of the songs, poems, dancing, reviews, fashion shows, and even a few games, the day represents a great demonstration of the way Holy Cross and St Monica come together in the most fundamental ways.

Like kids everywhere, the children of St James just wanted to sing and play and dance and were happy to have some fun with the visitors from far away. We also were able to enjoy a special lunch with faculty and parents to experience what makes this school so special from their perspective.

It was also a great chance to meet with many old friends, reflect on past visits, and lock in some new friendships too. (Plus where else would one get a chance to play the Kenyan version of Duck, Duck, Goose with an audience of cheering kids?)
