Fall Fun Festival 2013 !

Despite the challenging weather, the annual Fall Fun Festival was a tremendous success thanks to the collaborative help from many members of the Underhill staff and school volunteers !

Every student participated in age appropriate activities that channeled their creative, musical and physical energies in positive experiences. 

The second grade students work with their classmates, in groups of 4 or 5 to create a scarecrow.

Each work of art was incredibly unique and reinforced team work and group decision making. If you visit the second grade wing you will see the masterpieces!

All reports confirmed that a great time was had by ALL!

The first graders worked on class murals of fall apple trees. Every student put multiple, warm colored hand prints on the tree and finished up with an apple print on or around the tree.

Each student was invited to sign the class project and they are now proudly hanging in the hallways ! 

The Kindergarten friends worked together to create a class pumpkin patch ! Each artist painted their own version of a pumpkin to add to their class garden along with vines and leaves!

Due to unforeseen complications from a recent foot surgery, I was unable to attend the actual activities. I would like to thank our school volunteer coordinator, Georgette Peltak and the MANY school volunteers who pitched in to help make this day possible. I would also like to thank Amanda Stark, who stepped up and took over my responsibilities for the day. It certainly was a Gigantic relief to me to have such a wonderful group of people working together. That is what makes Underhill such a special place to be!
