| Special Events Community Days Each fall and spring students, faculty and parent volunteers spend a day providing community service to beautify the campus and improve the wetland area. Halloween Parade At Halloween, the students, faculty and staff attend the all-school costume parade. Organized by the Student Council, our students’ originality is on display as they walk around the school in astonishing and hilarious garbs. Classroom parties occur after the parade.Grandparents’ and Grand Friends’ Day Every year the school invites all grandparents and other close adult friends of our students to visit the campus and participate in the students' daily school activities. The guests spend time in classrooms and attend a reception with student performances. Often the visitors share stories with the students, engaging everyone in intergenerational learning. Those who are unable to attend may send letters to be shared in the homeroom classes. Invitations are mailed in the early fall by the Development Office staff, who coordinate the event. This year, Grandparents' Day is Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Parent Association Auction The Parent Association sponsors an action each spring to support The Evergreen School’s general operating budget. There is also a Fund-an-Item that supports a specific item such as the Sports Program, Performing Arts or Science Program. Community Service Week/Spirit Days During Community Service week, each class performs an act of community service. Often these service acts involve improving the campus grounds, collecting donations for area shelters or volunteering at an area hospital or retirement community. Spirit Days are held as part of this week. The Student Council organizes and sponsors themed activities to strengthen community ties. Science and Art Fair The
Science and Art Fair is an exciting spring event that displays the variety
of interests, talents and inventive abilities of Evergreen students. Projects
are displayed in every classroom to interested members of the Evergreen
community one spring evening. Students in Grades 1 & 2, Intermediate
and Middle are required to prepare exhibits for the fair. Younger students
participate in class projects and may bring in individual projects to
show if they wish. Volunteer Recognition Day To show our appreciation to our volunteers, each May we reserve a full day to say thank you. We provide complimentary coffee drinks, and display thank you banners that students in each section create. Alumni Barbecue The Alumni Barbecue is held each June after graduation. This is a fun event where alums get to visit with each other and their Evergreen teachers. |
