Great first day of camp!

What a great first day of camp! I'm so proud of the 29 E.D. Walker students for their great work today. We are well represented in every middle group and we even had two students that were promoted to the High School bands. Wow!  We meet in the morning at 7:45. The bus will leave at 7:55. Don't be late, we cannot wait.
