Polar Pond

Polar Pond

 Polar Pond Hosted by Class 4 on front side of EC near School Bell    Children are invited to step up to the glowing Polar Pond, a wintry fishing game where they gently lower a simple line beneath an icy cloth “lake” to see what hidden treasure awaits. Wrapped surprises — small seasonal delights — are fished from the shimmering waters with wonder and delight.  

Polar Pond Donations

The Polar Pond is a delight for all children! For one ticket, each child receives a fishing pole and draws up a small surprise from the shimmering “waters.”

Families are invited to contribute 10 or more natural treasures or handcrafted delights valued at $1 or more. Items may be handmade or thoughtfully purchased and should be made of natural materials that inspire imagination and simple joy.
