IN CASE YOU MISSED ITAt the Parents of Alumni Reception in September, Bryan demonstrated the relationship between balance and looking forward. Balancing a peacock feather on your palm is relatively easy if you look up and out, but nearly impossible if you look down at the point of the feather in your palm. You always learn something new when you come back to Sidwell Friends!
