WHS Harvest Festival A Real (S)MASH!!

Under the direction of our school counselor, Mollie Babcock, the students and staff of Woodland Heights School enjoyed a fabulous day of learning and fun as we celebrated our annual 'Harvest Festival'.

Many staff members and school volunteers worked together to plan and facilitate the fifteen stations that comprised our harvest celebration. A sampling of our morning stations included: football, volleyball, soccer, beanbag, and obstacle course stations (all run by Laconia High School student athletes); birdseed and gourd stations run by the LHS Key Club; a ghost adventure, arts and crafts station, a story station run by staff; and a 'Monster Mash' dance station led by members of the LHS Cheer Squad. Our afternoon activities included quality time with 'Laconia's Finest' (Laconia Police Department) to learn about how to be safe while out trick-or-treating, making scarecrows, and watching a short cartoon on halloween traditions.

This special event could not have been possible without the help of many people in our school and local community. Many thanks to all who made this day of harvest celebration so wonderful for our students!
