Volunteer Opportunity: More Harvest Fest Needs

A big thank you to Lisa Gray and Alicia Walters for coordinating the Kindergarten needs for the Willowwind Harvest Festival. Please visit the SignUpGenius page to volunteer to help out at the Harvest Fest or donate supplies. In addition, the Kindergarten class is hosting the much anticipated Book Walk. Please donate any gently used books you have from preschool to junior high reading levels. A book walk box will be sitting in the front entryway to collect books.

In addition, a school wide GoogleDrive spreadsheet has been created to allow classes to help out and donate other supplies for other classes. Please take a look at the linked spreadsheet and sign up to help out other classes. Please note though, if you are interested in donating baby pumpkins or bales of hay (straw) to first sign up on the SignUpGenius page created by Lisa. If our Kinder duties are already fulfilled and you'd still like to donate these supplies please feel free to then use the GoogleDrive spreadsheet.

We hope to see you there at the Harvest Fest on Saturday, October 12th from 1:30 - 4:00. This year's Harvest Fest we honor the important of collective community as we celebrate the life of Dashiell Codd. Dashiell was a preschooler from 2011 to 2012 and had many happy moments during his time at Willowwind. Dashiell particularly loved visit with older kids (especially his two brothers) during preschool reading buddies sessions, singing at the end of the day during Line Time, talking walks from the classroom to the garden and celebrating events like Harvest Fest. As part of this year's Harvest Fest festivities, we will meet before hand to celebrate Dashiell's vibrant life and dedicate a favorite space, Willowwind's preschool library, in his honor. Please join us at a special ceremony to rename this space as the Dashiell Codd Early Childhood Learning Center at 1:30.

The Harvest Fest and Annual Fund Kick-Off begins at 2:00 where games will be held outdoors and will feature a whole-school performance as students gather to unveil the new Willowwind school song at 3:45. Don't forget to be a good neighbor! Please join in our service learning focus this year and bring a canned food item for Willowwind's food drive, hosted for the benefit of our neighbors at the River Community Church Food Pantry. Plan to come to Harvest Fest? Click HERE to RSVP. Celebrate Willowwind's friends and family as we come together in the spirit of our wonderful school! We can't wait to see you!
