Jambalaya Two-Mile Fun Run
Students, little sisters and brothers, older siblings, and parents all came out to show their support for Jambalaya by running and volunteering for the Jambalaya Two-Mile Fun Run. Everyone had a blast weaving through downtown neighborhoods, getting some exercise, eating Spudnuts, and enjoying a sense of community.

Jambalaya Feast and Square Dance
On Saturday night at Christ Church, taste buds were tantalized with many different jambalaya creations. All were unique and all were delicious. After feasting on the southern classic, square dancing started upstairs. A caller led the dancers through the steps while the band accompanied with fantastic old-time music. Thank you to Heather Warren for beautifully organizing the whole event. What a fun night!
