Festival of Trees 2015

The students and I are preparing for The Festival of Trees at the Lehigh Calley Airport. About 20 schools including Hoku Family have a tree inside the airport that was donated by local tree farms. Each school created ornaments and then decorates their tree for the commuters to see while traveling for the holidays. Our Advancement Director Mrs. Hart is looking for parent volunteers to decorate and then "undecorate" the tree. Email Mrs. Hart if you'd like to help. 

Here is a tiny preview of ornaments each grade is working on.

4th grade -- Building and painting sleds



6th grade -- Giant paper snowflakes
The students really got excited about this one!

Each snowflake starts by folding, cutting and flying to make 6 pieces like the one below. The first piece was tricky, but after the students accomplished making one piece they really got the hang of it!


A mass of snowflakes ready for the airport!



7th grade --- Rolled paper cones declaring the shape of your choice 



8th grade-- 3D paper ornaments in the shape of your choice
