RJ and Sara's school had a party to celebrate the Star Festival (Tanabata). Mitch volunteered to help with all the festives

Tanabata is a Festival of the Stars on July 7th. You can learn more about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanabata

From what I heard, the kids all had a great time. They played games to earn their food (lunch) and some even won extra prizes (Sara got a big bag of treats)
