This weekend we will display 3 photo essays submitted from our Boredom Buster Week Activities. Gavin Popp, Riley Orr, Abigail Thompson and Justin Kertis all submitted essays after reflecting on "What Easter means to me..." Be sure to stop by the Gathering Space this weekend to see their work up close.
Great job, everyone!
