“El Dia de los Muertos,” —. In many Spanish speaking cultures, the Day of the Dead is an annual event celebrating and remembering those family and ancestors who have passed on. Greenwood students in Grades 4 - 8 will experience this event through stories or decorating sugar skulls and other traditional items for the special tables set up within their classroom. Children bring in photos or other items to remember family members, friends or even pets who have died.

Winter Faire — Holiday fun for the whole family: this is a day of imagination and fun with games, crafts, musical entertainment, stories, and as many chances as you dare to steal treasure from a hibernating bear. We host a distinctive vendors market that is rich in arts, crafts, toys, and seasonal items. Families from all over the Bay Area come for the unique and traditional holiday experience.

Evergreen Spiral — The Evergreen Spiral Festival occurs near the winter solstice, the coldest, darkest time of the year. This is a season when we must journey within to find inner light, inspiration, and hope. The gym is transformed through creating a beautiful spiral made from evergreen branches. The room is dark except for the candle at the center of the spiral. Each child walks the spiral to its center, lights his/her candle and places it somewhere on the spiral as they exit. What begins as a dark room ends as a bright, warm room filled with the light and warmth that each child brings to the spiral: reminding us that in our darkest moments that light will once again return.
