On Tuesday, January 14th, the Mayfield community returned to campus after being shut down due to the Eaton fire. The series of destructive wild fires that started on January 7th impacted many members of the Mayfield community. In hopes of bringing students, teachers, and staff together on the first day back, the Mayfield community spent the day participating in prayerful and reflective activities. Starting the day off in a community meeting, the Cubs prayed together for the many individuals impacted by the fires. Then, the campus opened up various bonding activities for the students. There was painting, a poetry workshop, dance, and an option to make lunches for South Central LAMP. This day was a perfect way to bring the Mayfield community closer together, and bring light to each others’ days.
