DATE AND TIME:
September 25th @ 5:30PM
At this time of the year we normally have a feast to honor all the spirits from the west to help in the harvesting of all the food, for survival of the up-coming winter. We thank the fall spirits for what they have given us.
This year, we are incorporating a ghost feast for the Indian community of Milwaukee.
If you want to feast a family member or friend that has walked on to the spirit world, please bring a dish to pass of his/her favorite food.
We will be offering Tobacco and food to the fire in memory of your family member.
This is the fall feast.
We will see you at the feast!
There will be a give away for all in attendance.

Ms. Osting’s K5 class is going to the Pumpkin Farm. I asked the K5 what they wanted to see and some of them said, they wanted to see pumpkins, sheep, going on the hay hide, the maze which is pretty confusing. Some kids didn’t want to go on the hayride, and some were a little afraid of the fact there were going to be animals there. Most of the fun activities I listed already. Every year the K5 has their annual trip at the pumpkin farm. They are going to get one free pumpkin and if they wanted more they would have to pay extra, but getting one free pumpkin is great too. They are really excited to have FUN adventure AT THE PUMPKIN FARM!
