School-wide theme of "Courage" empowers presenters in faith

Written by

Every year, Friends Academy's "Holidays with Friends" program helps to shine and spread the light of community, diversity, and shared personal values. This December, students from all divisions gathered to speak to this year's school-wide theme of "Courage" and how it impacts their lives and manifests in their faiths.
