Pajamas, crazy hair/hats, red & white -- January 17-19

Wow!! What a fun short, spirit week we had; full of pajamas, crazy hair, hats and showing off our school colors! Along with these fun dress up days we had a Korean-dance group come for chapel. The students also put on a little show for me for my birthday :) Here are a few pictures I took from this week:
