Habitat for Humanity Fall Break
October 12-15, 2011
Students and staff traveled down the Eastern Shore to Belle Haven, Virginia over Fall Break to help build a home with Habitat for Humanity. Habitaters camped at a local church and spent three days putting up drywall, mudding the walls, constructing a shed, and doing some landscaping. Homeowner Danielle Harmon should be able to move in by December!

Mud wars. We're not all work and no play. Drywall mud makes for great high fives and mud attacks!
