Camas — Pacific Crest Academy holds a signature All Saints Day celebration every Nov. 1, its Saints Museum, with approximately 80 students in grades kindergarten through eight dressing up as the saints they have studied during the month of October. The students presented brief biographical sketches with props and literature in a museumlike atmosphere. The saints range from the popular (St. Nicholas, St. Joseph, St. Patrick) to the more unfamiliar (St. Margaret of Cortona, St. Winifred). The unique event drew more than 200 visitors to Pacific Crest, which is on the grounds of St. Thomas Aquinas Church at 324 Oak St.
