Manila Waldorf School to hold Advent Fair
The Manila Waldorf School announced this year’s Advent Fair entitled, Weaving Peace, Hope, and Love in Advent, on Nov. 27, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Manila Waldorf School campus in Timberland Heights, San Mateo, Rizal. This year’s fair is spearheaded by the parents of Class 3.
The main highlight of the fair will be a communal art piece that encourages everyone to participate in. Simply called “Unity Installation,” this woven canopy is meant to serve as a reminder to the community that anything’s possible when people come together as one and that MWS is a community which provides opportunities for everyone to work together, grow, learn, and heal.
To the children the canopy could signify that when people unite, there is hope.
Admission is free. Raffle tickets at P50 for a chance to win exciting prizes from the different classes and various concessionaires.
All proceeds of the fair will be turned over to the school’s Teachers Fund, which will be used to finance the teachers’ overseas training next year.
