A Few of the Dads’ Favorite Things
The Father-Daughter Dance is a time-honored event celebrated by many Nerinx families. I saw the dance as an opportunity to ask the fathers of the Nerinx community what they like about our beloved school. They offered a variety of answers and gave insight to what outsiders think about Nerinx. I asked only one question: “What is your favorite thing about Nerinx Hall?” Many of their responses are quoted below.
