Every New Year is a new beginning. This year is no different. Here at The Family Foundation School, new beginnings are lessons learned from mistakes we made and the decision to become a better person. On December’s last night, every student was invited to a New Year’s Eve bash to welcome 2012 with hopeful and grateful hearts.
The gym was decorated by Paul Geer, Chris Scott, and several students to look like an expensive ballroom. In fact, everyone received a ticket that guaranteed him or her admittance to this “VIP lounge.”
Each House had beautifully set tables complete with candles, weighted balloons, and a different fork for each entrée. In the middle of the floor, was a giant cupcake tower surrounded by four balloon pillars. To walk in, you would not believe that you were in the Falcons’ gym.
With Paul Geer as our host, the community participated in a murder mystery. Different people were assigned characters and alibis and others had to figure out who was murdered and “whodunit.” We also had a mini version of “So You Think You Can Dance,” a fashion show, improvisational skits, and live music played by Sean D. and Ron R. At midnight, balloons and confetti fell from the ceiling and we greeted 2012 with noisemakers and glee.
There seems to be hope and a sense of purpose in the air around here. God Bless and Happy New Year!
