*The one event I wanted to give a heads up about, is the Eco-Fair. It has become a tradition at Summers-Knoll to have an Eco-Fair in lieu of the traditional Halloween celebration. Children (and staff) still wear costumes to school but they make their own costumes using recycled and reused materials. Materials for the costumes can be found around the house, in the recycle bin, or at re-sale shops such as Value World. The idea is to have a good time making something new out of something old. I hope you will have fun helping your child create a costume.

Here is an example from last year: Quinn made herself into a tube of tooth paste.
