..and we celebrate our special Times...
The entire Windsong community celebrates several of our festivals all together.... Our 'Eat, Sweep, and Be Merry" gathering to ready the school for a new year (in latest summer), our Lantern Walk in November, and our Spiral of Light celebration in early December are celebrated with all of our families together. Our Halloween festivity, Gnome Dance in latest winter, and our May Day gathering in spring are enjoyed by each program at the later end of school days. Many festivals -Michaelmas, St. Nicholas Day, Santa Lucia, Candlemas, Valentines Day, and the wonderful and subtler changes of the seasons...are celebrated by the children within our morning doings. Halloween...
is a gentle event at Windsong...With the help of our parents, mother earth heads out with her 'pumpkin patch' or 'little witches' or 'fallen leaves' to visit the curious folk around about the yard. If the children can answer a riddle...what nice treats may be in store...
"Five little pumpkins sitting on the gate..." |

Spring ..
brings mama goose..how grateful we are when she sits on our felting eggs for so very many days over our long Spring Break..!
..and spring brings so many treasures.. |
Birthdays...
are our little festivals that the stars of the children bring... We welcome the family to join us for a special story, and to share our lunchtime with us, so they might tell us a special story or two of the birthday child...
