Holy Cross Celebrates Fall Festival
Grandparents’ Day at Forest Avenue
On November 16, Forest Avenue Academic Magnet School hosted its first Grandparents’ Day! Nearly 400 grandparents joined their grandchildren during lunch for a special Thanksgiving meal prepared by Lunchroom Manager Sonya Williams and her staff. The special event, which will continue on an annual basis, acknowledges the special role grandparents play in their grandchildren’s lives, including academic achievement. Grandparents also play an active role at the school by volunteering and contributing to fundraising events.
Holy Cross Episcopal School’s campus was the setting for the one of the year’s most popular events - the annual Fall Festival. Students and their families, faculty and staff enjoyed the wide variety of games, craft making, inflatables, cake walk with lively music, hay ride and festive photo booth. Creative pumpkins designed by each grade level were on display and available to win. As the sun began to set and the shadows lengthened, families continued to enjoy the hayride that took them on a twilight ride across the fields. When it was time for a break from all the fun and excitement, everyone helped themselves to hot dogs, nachos, juices, bottled water and other seasonal treats such as Halloween candy and delicious baked goods.
