What a fun, chaotic, hot, happy, amazing, crazy (but in a good way) first day of our Eighth-Grade Retreat (adjectives generated by eighth graders). Knowing we couldn’t check into the Retreat House until 3:00 p.m., the teachers decided to take the students to Lyons for a long hike and a cold plunge.
