High school students in the National Honor Society chapter volunteered at the event as course monitors, photographers and mascots from each Ladue school. “It was pretty hot in those costumes, I was the [Conway] ram,” Garon Agrawal (12) said. “It got pretty hot, but it was a really fun experience. I loved giving all the kids high fives, and everyone’s really excited to see us mascots.”
