A Very Special Fall Festival

Fall Festival was one of the best in recent memory--having over 60 alums return to share their memories was particularly special. But the alums weren't the only ones who enjoyed themselves. Yesterday, I received the following email from the Griffin Family.

It was the best one I’ve been to in 7 years.

Why?

1.       Because every booth I saw had meaning.

2.       Because my family ran out of energy before we could visit every booth we wanted to visit. (we still want to make a stepping stone for ME-Maw’s garden!)

3.       Because everyone in my family visited the haunted house and LOVED it (because we all love a “little” scary, but not too much!)

4.       Because the people you hired to do the tree climbing were just as excited as the kids climbing the ropes.

5.       Because my family was able to eat a healthy lunch so those two cakes we won and the baked goods we bought were eaten with confidence that all things are good in moderation.

6.       Because my 10-year-old daughter was able to flex her independence safely by “hanging out” with her friends and checking in with us every now and then.

7.       Because I went home exhausted from being both a teacher and a parent – blissfully, happily exhausted.

With immense gratitude,

The Griffin Family
