Rosemary Hinton's Celebration of Life Service was held on Thursday Sept. 25 in the Waxlax Center. Photo album of memories.
Friday Sept. 26, Rosemary Hinton was remembered in a variety of ways. The LS students wore silly socks to honor Rosemary’s warmhearted tradition of wearing funny socks to school.
Also, you may have seen faculty and students donning “toe tokens” on their key chains and necklaces on campus this week. These small, charm-like tokens in the shape of a foot were used by Rosemary to encourage her lower school students to walk and/or run around the field, as well as reward those students who had reached certain milestones. Rosemary's idea has been a smashing hit on campus and is available to students and faculty who wish to remember Rosemary in this special way. Please see Bob Bond.
