What started out as a rainy and gloomy day, became a temporary flurry of bright colors and sunshine during the Spring Parade at London's school. Kindergarteners and 1st graders participated, carrying cheerful flags of dyed silk and singing on their walk from the school to a nearby park. Us adults lined the path for them to pass through and we then all joined hands for a few verses and circle activities. Raisin buns (made beforehand by the children) and oranges were served and a special handmade treasure was given to each child from the spring fairies. I feel so lucky to be able to be able to be part of a school that encourages such community and simple seasonal activities like this. What a way to usher in spring!
