Organized by the district’s Title VI Parent Advisory Committee, the event provided space for families to connect and engage in meaningful activities.
The event featured a variety of hands-on activities, including painting tree cookies, weaving pine cones, creating paper sack cradleboards, crafting sachet pouches with essential oils, and making round-nosed canoe ornaments. Participants also enjoyed bracelet-making, a candy cane hunt, coloring, and exploring a northern lights time lapse through VR headsets.

Many volunteers worked together to prepare materials and guide activities, ensuring families could fully enjoy the experience.
