celebrate winter magic at Winterberry
​
Winterberry Winter Faire, 11 am to 3 pm, Saturday, February 3, 2024
This “friendraiser” event invites the Anchorage community to celebrates the joys of winter at Winterberry.
For many, it’s the first time they step foot into our school and the fun factor is high. Classes and WPG coordinate jump rope making, live music, indoor games and outdoor winter activties, craft corners. Entire classrooms are decorated to reveal magical realms. A classroom cafe serves food and drinks to fortify friends for a full day of festivities. Volunteers sell baked treats and tickets, game rooms and traffic flow. Organizers are actively planning 2024 Winter Faire (more details coming soon).
​
It’s an “all hands on deck” event that warms the wintry soul.
