Winterfest 2/2/12

Charter Corps hosted a Winterfest on Friday, February 3rd,  where all of the proceeds from the event went to help the Quinones Family. This event was the second fundraiser that Highlander has thrown to support one of the families that attends Highlander Charter School. During this event families participated in different crafts, games, a dance party,  a bake sale, listening to stories and raffles.  Leading to each activity was a candy scavenger hunt (where each color leads to a different activity) and at each location students and families were given to opportunity to get the activities color signed and then win a free raffle ticket. 

There were three different crafts offered at the event. The first one was Sock Snowman, where students were given to opportunity to create snowman out of socks and then stuffed them. Students decorated their snowman using markers, pipe cleaners, yarn and pom poms. Students also made fleece scarfs using felt, markers, stencils, and beads. Finally students were able to create snowflakes and write messages on them and even added a little color to their beautiful snowflakes. After creating their snowflakes students were given the opportunity to hang their creations of a beautiful golden tree.
