Mice on Main
Goodnight Moon is the children’s book that the mice idea came from. As a senior project at Christ Church Episcopal School, Jimmy Ryan proposed the idea of placing the mice downtown for children to hunt. He raised the funding and commissioned Zan Wells, local sculptor, to make the individual mice.

The World Race is an 11-month Christian mission trip to 11 different countries around the world, and it’s not your typical missions experience.  It’s a way for young adults to abandon a traditional lifestyle in exchange for a dramatic paradigm shift.

Through adventure, ministry, community, and self-discovery, World Racers develop broken hearts that propel their hands to act for God’s kingdom around the globe.  The best part of the World Race is it’s merely the beginning of a life-long journey.

March 14, 1975 - While inbetween rounds of 7-up in Mrs. Kurtz's 6th grade class, a young Matt Stockman accepted a "triple-dog dare" and tried to stick his head through the back of his desk chair. Much to Matt's suprise, Swartz was right... you can get it through but you can't get it back out. In the pursing 135 minute ordeal, four school personal worked feverishly to free young Stockman from the grips of plastic chair death. Pictured above are: (L-R) Custodian Bookman, Shop Teacher Snipes (with Hacksaw), Nurse Evans and Mrs. Kurtz.
