I know we’re a bit late with our Thanksgiving pics but everything is a bit off this year and we are under a lot of pressure.
Despite it all we were able to keep most of our traditional holiday activities that make the Greenhouse School so special.
The banquet style setup with turkey at the head of the table were a no go of course. But with proper precautions we were able to enjoy a communally prepared meal–separately–and give our Thanksgiving speeches.
Even had alumni visit, alone, after hours for a take home plate (and to get knitting advice!). And as always we were able to expose children to the historical truth about the settlement of the Americas and treatment of indigenous peoples. All in a GHS day’s work.
We also have a passel of December birthdays – pics to come. We will likely have extra closing over the holiday week Dec 27-31 to take a bit of a break as covid continues to spike.
Dec 14th is the 25th anniversary of Mr. Frank’s passing (Mr. Danny’s dad), who used to drive the bus and fix things around school. We will have a small ceremony in his memory.
Let’s enjoy the holiday season as best we can despite everything swirling around us. Peace and joy to all. Thanks, D&J
Sincerely,
D.P. Welch and J. Nambalirwa-Lugudde, Directors
