Come one and all! CCC teachers, families, and grandparents too! We invite you and your family to our annual Harvest Moon Lantern Walk. This is a time of year when communities all over the world come together to celebrate the season and the annual harvest. We encourage you to use this gathering as a way to connect with your child and the community.

Why: To celebrate the changing of the seasons and the beautiful harvest moon.
When: September 28, 6:30pm.
Where: Rood Bridge Park.

Food: Families are welcome to picnic in the park beforehand but be sure to be all cleaned up by 6:15 to prepare for the walk. You are invited to bring harvest muffins (blueberry, apple, banana, zucchini, pumpkin, etc) to share at the end. Homemade is fine!

Lanterns: Participants are encouraged to create your own handmade lanterns to carry in the walk. This is a great family activity. All you need is a clear 2-liter bottle for each lantern you wish to make, check back soon for a photo walk through by a CCC parent of our favorite method adapted from this original tutorial here. We will make a few extra in the classrooms. Bring your lantern and battery candle with you that evening.

Have fun creating your lanterns at home with your family! For more ideas on how to make lanterns browse our Pinterest board here.
