Michaelmas
The last Friday in September
On Michaelmas, we gather at the farm on the last day of outdoor school. The grades present the traditional play of townspeople working together to vanquish a dragon (written from scratch by each year’s 8th grade) and we all share dragon bread afterward.
Harvest Faire
Our Harvest Faire is a joyful community gathering at the farm. We have games and a scavenger hunt, archery in the field, and fresh pressed cider. Bake sales and face painting, a pumpkin patch, and general merrymaking round out the event.
A Saturday in early October
Lantern Walk
Our lantern walk is a quiet, reverent evening walk through the farm. Students carry their handmade lanterns and follow a winding path in the dark, led by their class teacher. Stories of those who have shared their own light are told, and special lantern walk songs are sung.
Last school day before Veteran’s Day
