May Crowning

Students at East Lake Academy in Lake Forest celebrated grandparents day on May 10. Students in all grades celebrated the day with classroom visits from their grandparents or special people, a Mass and May crowning. Second-graders were in charge of the May crowning and were allowed to wear their First Holy Communion outfits to the ceremony.
