On Friday, October 18th, we welcomed over 1000 people, HCES students, parents and friends, to our campus for our annual Fall Festival and Book Fair. We kicked off the afternoon with the Episcopal Schools Celebration, a national celebration of Episcopal Schools, in the outdoor chapel featuring our 5th grade choir. Our families and friends then strolled into the courtyard for an evening filled with fun and fellowship making it, yet again, one of the most treasured events of the school year as it has been for decades. As you can imagine, many months of planning and hard work go into organizing this special event. Thank you to HCES parents, Molly Bader and Mary-Kathryn Malphurs for serving as our leaders chairing the event. Families enjoyed live music, bounce houses, a rock wall, games, crafts with Holy Comforter Church and our Latin Club, a hayride with Mr. Williams, the ever-popular cake walk, and face painting! HUGE shoutout to our Middle School Band, School of Rock band and Opening Nights for providing live music and thank you to our Music Department teachers for leading!
