The Foxtrot is Underway!
If you are on campus this week, check out the beautiful foxes painted by our creative Hilltoppers. They are on display all over campus. See if you can spot them all.
Thank you to Middle School parent Steve Kut for cutting out all the foxes and to EA's art teachers Beth Sala and Erin Van Horne for facilitating the painting.
