The Saplings Times

The snow has arrived, and we are so excited about it! The forest at MVCS is an extra magical place during the winter. We've been enjoying strolls through the woods to collect Solstice crafting supplies and visiting our fort building spots to see how they're holding up with all of the snow. Solstice prep is also underway as we create lanterns and learns songs for the event.

There is a busy week coming up! Please make sure to look through these notes carefully, so you don't miss anything.

Did you know that you can paint vegetable oil on paper to make your own translucent window clings?! Just color your paper brush it with the oil, then stick it right to the window. So fun!

Thursday will be our class Solstice celebration. We have created some traditions that the Saplings really look forward to each year. We will make our Saplings Sweet and Salty Solstice Snack Mix and Wassail that we will enjoy while watching the Snowman. The sign up doc for Wassail and snack mix ingredients will be in your email.
