Centennial Celebration Kick-off at School of St. Mary

Students at the School of St. Mary in Lake Forest wrote their fondest school memories on slips of paper that were made into a garland. The school treated its students to a surprise centennial celebration kick-off on Jan. 20. The day was filled with old-fashioned games, crafts and a centennial video about the school’s history.
