Well, you know what our PD was up to during retreat but we figured it was time to share what fun we were having! Our retreat this year began at Chicken and Pickle with some friendly games, included a tour of Kauffman Stadium, and ended the night at Chief Dauma’s house playing Resident Jeopardy. We’re so thankful for dedicated time to spend with each other!
