On November 16, we had an epic time Hanging with the Heroes at Mason Preparatory School! We didn’t let the weather ruin our good time and held the event inside the gymnasium. Over 175 parents, kids {and grandparents too!} enjoyed all the fun activities this event had to offer – superheroes, local heroes and more!
