Mrs. Mundell, Jocelyn, River, Aurora and I helped with judging yesterday and today. It makes it a bit more challenging to get pictures and post about our events. Everyone has presented their projects. Tonight is the banquet and fashion show. Avila will be participating in the fashion show. She will be wearing her dress she made.
