Winter Fair Reimagined—Friday, December 17th
Plans for our beloved event have recently changed! In keeping with our aim to spread joy (instead of Covid), here’s what the day will bring:
- School Day Activities for DWS students
- Pop-up Shop and Fireside Farewell for all
- Online sales of wreaths, gnomes, and children’s activity kits
We are still baking the full details, but please read below to learn the latest!
Children's Activities
During the school day (until 12:30pm), students will partake of traditional Winter Fair favorites:
Elfland
Cookie Heaven
Children’s Shoppe
Musical Performances
To purchase additional activity kits to keep your children crafting over the Winter Break, scroll down and place your order by Tuesday, December 14th. These will be available for pickup during the Winter Fair.
Outdoor Pop-Up Shop & Fireside Farewell
All are welcome to shop our inventory of Waldorf-inspired books and toys and peruse the handmade wares of local artisans.
Time: 12:30-2pm
Location: DWS Playground
During this time, we’ll also gather around a couple of campfires to roast marshmallows, drink hot chocolate, and bid our friends and families a fond farewell before going on Winter Break. Please note that on December 17th, school dismisses at 12:30pm and there is no aftercare. Students attending the Fireside Farewell must be accompanied by an adult.
Call for Elfland and Children's Shoppe Items
Items for both Elfland and the Children’s Shoppe may be dropped off in the school foyer.
- Elfland Materials—Please help our Elfland architects in gathering natural building materials such as moss, pine cones, acorns, sticks, seed pods, dried flowers, shells, pebbles, stones, gems, and dried “nature.”
- Children’s Shoppe Items—Please donate new items and gently used regiftable goods for the children to purchase when shopping for family and friends. These can include soaps, vases, inexpensive jewelry, socks, ties, pens, gadgets, and more!
