Harvest Moon Baskets

I love the Harvest Moon Festival at the preschool. It is such a fun-filled day and the money made from the festival goes directly to help families in need afford preschool tuition. This year, I actually helped out on the committee for Harvest Moon, mainly with organizing volunteers (all 201 of them, to be exact). I made some great new friends along the way!

One of the best parts of Harvest Moon is seeing all of the baskets done by the classes. The class with the "best basket" and the class with the "most tickets sold" each earn a pizza party. Guess what?! Brett's class won both - woohoo!! I can't take much credit though... the parent in charge of ALL of the basktes has a son in Brett's class and she did probably 90% of the work for that basket. It was freakin' AWESOME! It sold 600+ tickets itself!! Crazy! Also, another cool little tidbit - the family that won our awesome basket also won another awesome basket and chose to donate the Science & Nature basket to a family in our class that just suffered a terrible miscarriage. Families like that make our preschool such a fantastic place to be a part of! I get chills just thinking about how sweet and thoughtful that was.
