A favorite autumn tradition at Habitat! 🍂
Our annual Harvest Festival, also known as Special Person’s Day, brings families, grandparents, friends, and loved ones together for a morning filled with creativity, connection, and community.
Together, we discovered, created, and connected through music, hands-on activities, and art inspired by nature.🌞🎨
The celebration also featured a book fair, @sharepaperpie 📚 breakfast prepared and served by our elementary students, 😋 special performances, and opportunities to visit the classrooms, creating meaningful moments and memories along the way.✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this beloved Habitat tradition so special! ♥️
