Parent volunteers and student participation make this a festive and successful event. This lunch has become one of the favorite traditions with our elementary students. With the help of a few parents, the children at the Kensington site prepare and serve lunch for each other based on the old fable of Stone Soup. Grandparents are invited to come as special guests at the feast. Before winter break, the school comes together to celebrate the seasons' many different holidays in song.
Parents are welcome to join in or just listen.
The singing is followed by a reception with baked goods and a chance to visit. Each spring we recognize our student artists by showcasing their work in a special exhibit at the Museum of Children's Art in Oakland. The opening of the exhibit, which runs for about three weeks, is an exciting time for both the student artists and their families. In the spring we have our biggest fund raiser in the Social Hall of the Kensington site. This includes a spaghetti feast, silent auction, and a Scholastic book fair.
