The Harvest Festival is a tradition at East Village Community School. The Harvest Festival is a beloved event by kids, staff and families. It is a celebratory gathering in the yard complete with community, songs and a school-wide walk to Trinity Lutheran Church, located o Avenue B and 10th Street, we all physically deliver the cans to the shelter. It is a beautiful morning. Families are all welcome to participate in the festivities and to walk with the students to the church.
DETAILS FOR TUESDAY November 24th in the morning
Students will go up as usual at 8:30am. by the bell. There is a select group of 5th Graders,
they will know who they are – helping tote cans.
PARENTS If you would like to participate – Students and staff will be assembled by 9:30 am
Following a brief opening ritual, we will all proceed to the church. We will finish up by 10:30 am.
If you own a cart, please bring it to the yard Tuesday morning near the ramp to fill with cans.
If you offered to drive some of the cans to the church, we hope to see you near the west gate at the yard for loading. Hopefully a few parents can help with loading. We will cart and carry some of the cans as well.
