A welcome back letter from our
ACES president, Alexia McKinnon
Hello Alpenglow Families,
Where did our first month of school go? It's hard to image just over a month ago we are all preparing our children to go back to school after a very long pause. One highlight for me is seeing more faces at pickup and drop off. I know that this might not be your families first choice to being bringing your child(ren) to school, but it makes for a great 'feel' of community that has defiantly challenged us in the past months.
As we roll into October,
Thanksgiving
Martinmas celebrates the gentleness and kindness we hold within us and the ability to shine light and warmth unto others. The grade 2/3 class is now preparing the Martinmas play. Following the play we will be invited to enter the forest, walking and singing together along the candle lit path carrying our own lanterns. This is a quiet and meditative celebration bringing to life the strength of our own individual light, signing bright amongst the darkness. This is the festival that hooked our family to Alpenglow. The story of Martinmas and the beauty of the lanterns guiding our community through the forest together celebrating our gifts through song. I hope your family enjoys the magic of this evening and it comes to be one of the favorite
festivals in your family as well.
