In between speeches, we enjoyed a glorious performance from our AFES Dancers. The dance, choregraphed by Mrs. Meyers, was a beautiful tribute to the long journey we have endured. Sam Cook's,"A Change is Gonna Come" played as the dancers gracefully swayed in their red gowns. Their recital was truly mesmerizing and captured the whole audience.
