Dear Friends,

Congratulations and a hearty thank you to all members of the GPC and school community for Saturday's fantastic Harvest Fair at Goshen Friends.  All the activities were carefully planned - not only  what they would be, but also  where they would be - and a colorful map given to each family when they arrived made it easy to select just the right place to get started. Perfect fall weather complemented the day! I saw many families leaving the Fair with hands full of painted pumpkins. Face-painted children carried spin-art and wore pumpkin necklaces filled with colorful sand and medals featuring a York peppermint patty on bright-colored ribbons earned at the obstacle course. And this represented only a few of the wonderful "stations" the children enjoyed. Two bounce houses and the always popular pony rides were also highlights.  

Compliments for the delicious food, snacks, and drinks enjoyed by families both in the Grange and outside at picnic tables whose tablecloths reflected the autumn season.

Much thought had been given to the day, and it showed - before for set-up, during as parents and teachers took turns helping the children at the different stations, and after the event with a very efficient clean-up crew.  Thank you ALL for sharing your talents with both the school community and neighborhood friends. What a glorious event!

In friendship,

Irene Crichton
