Dear HVWS Community,

Deepest thanks for the hard work and enthusiasm you brought to making this past weekend's Fall Fair and Market a success. Whether you enjoyed the Fair as an attendee, shopped in the Market, or were among the many volunteers who made the event possible thank you! Many families parents, staff, alumni families, trustees, students signed up to volunteer, and almost as many stayed for extra shifts, extended shifts, and simply pitched in where they saw a need. Your cheerful dedication is what makes an event like this possible. Thank you also to the many parents who donated an abundance of delicious food! (Bake sale containers await pickup in the Administration Cottage.)

I am sure I've missed thanking someone, so thank you to anyone who helped out but is not listed below. (I know you are out there...) Special thanks to our Fall Fair Committee, Market Organizer Peggy McFarland, the Puppetry Committee, school store manager Natasha Daniels-Pearson, and to Miss Carrie, who can do anything and make it fun.

With gratitude,

Christina Dixcy
Communications & Outreach Director
