Our School Traditions

Nights of Wonder are special evenings that invite families into the classroom to experience the joy and depth of student learning. Classrooms are transformed into living galleries filled with projects, artwork, writing, and hands-on displays that tell the story of each student's learning experience. These evenings bridge the connection between home and school and honor the meaningful learning that happens every day in our classrooms.

Self-portraits are a powerful tool for self-expression and reflection. When created in simple black and white, the focus shifts from color and decoration to the details of line, shape, and emotion. This simple practice invites children to slow down, observe themselves closely, and present what they see and feel with intention. The self-portrait rhythm nurtures a sense of self-awareness and belonging, key elements of Reggio-inspired classroom culture.

Our fall Togetherness Meal is a time to gather as a school community and share the joy of preparing and eating food together. Students help cook and serve a seasonal meal, practicing collaboration, gratitude, and hospitality. This shared table becomes a place where connections are made.

Just before Winter Break, we host our annual Candle Dipping and Tea time. This is a sweet, intentional tradition that invites students to slow down and dip candles, layer by layer, as they enjoy the rhythmic pace of watching their candle form.

Our Winter Market is a joyful celebration of student creativity and entrepreneurship. Children design, craft, and prepare handmade items to sell, learning about planning, pricing, and presentation. Families and friends are invited to come, browse, and support the students’ hard work in this festive, community-centered event.

Each spring, we host our cherished Mother's Day Tea, a gentle and heartfelt celebration to honor moms. Students prepare treats, decorations, and a short poetry piece to share. It’s a sweet, meaningful moment that brings us together.
