While Blogger has been down for the past week, we've been decorating for the holidays. While we are technically a high school, we are, moreover a community of students and families living and learning in this lovely corner of Massachusetts. Our mission includes serving the families who live on campus. This display is geared to entrance the children of faculty and staff families who are looking for ways to share the holidays indoors when the weather is blustery (as it is today)!
The Christmas Candle, by Richard Paul Evans, tells the story of a self-absorbed young man who is looking for a candle for his lantern. His disregard for strangers in the cold of the night is replaced by true illumination when he perceives the faces of his family in each of the cold, tired, and hungry people he meets. By the conclusion of his journey he realizes that we are all part of one large family. The story is beautifully illustrated with the paintings of Jacob Collins - a story to warm anyone's heart on a cold winter evening.
