Harvest Fire
From Christy (first floor teacher): The weather was beautiful, our kettle of apple cider warmed over the fire and the children were dressed in capes, crowns, and gnome hats. We gave thanks to the community for the work put into the harvest, and honored the sun, rain, and wind for their contributions. Teachers and parents were dressed in their autumn finest, bedecked in leaf crowns, and we all shared a delicious meal of stone soup, cider bread, and warm cider. The lower middle grades prepared the soup, cider bread, and warm cider, I was served the stone, and we danced around the fire with folk dancer Carol Gayeski. The children participated in various activities: Chopping and sawing wood, getting their faces painted, spinning on a spinning wheel with third floor parent Lisa Gwinner, and they played with old fashioned hoola hoops and horse reins.
