Building Community
At any time, the Mulberry community is either planning a celebration or coming together to enjoy these all school events with children, siblings, parents, teachers and alumni.
Friday Morning All-School Sing & Friday Morning Coffee
Friday Morning All-School Sing (children and parents) and Friday Morning Coffee (adults only!) in the courtyard – children and parents look forward to this weekly ritual. Friday Sing is a time to come together as a community and sing old favorites or learn new songs together. A parent committee makes sure there is coffee and snacks to encourage conversation out in the courtyard.
Book Fair
In the Fall and Spring, Mulberry holds a Book Fair for the entire school. It is an opportunity to buy books at a reasonable cost and for teachers to replenish their in-class libraries.
Harvest Celebration
This beloved Fall Celebration with a visit from Mother Earth happens every October using some of the vegetables from our Garden Boxes. All the classes cook goodies to share and each grade runs an activity - making painted leaves, corn husk dolls, flower wreaths, wool bracelets, face painting, pumpkin hooping and more. Children, parents and teachers, families and friends all celebrate together.
Thanksgiving Feast
Both preschool and elementary school celebrate Thanksgiving with a feast with family and friends. A student musical program follows dessert.
Science Fair
This Spring event highlights the scientific minds of our elementary students. Elementary students create a variety of projects exemplifying all aspects of scientific discovery. True to Mulberry, the science fair is "hands on" learning. Parents set up tables, assist children in setting up their projects, and clean-up.
Sock Hop
Dust off your blue suede shoes for this much loved event! This is an evening to dance to the music of the '50's, participate in bubble gum blowing and hoola-hoop contests, and have a generally great time.
Spring Sing & Young Author's Fair
This combined Spring event celebrates the culmination of the elementary students' yearlong music program, and their literary work. Families picnic while each class performs. Afterward, everyone tours the classrooms and multi-purpose room to read the student books and poetry displayed there.
Fun Run/Spirit Week
This annual event includes many fun activities and ends in a big Fun Run up on the play yard, for both Elementary and Preschool children.
Steppin' Out
This is Mulberry's grand annual Spring fundraising event, with profits going to Mulberry's Scholarship and Capital funds. This is a fabulous 'adult only' evening of delicious food, fine wine, and dancing. The highlight of the event includes silent and live auctions made up of items like a crane collage, quilt and mosaic flower pot, - all made by the children - and services that have been donated by local merchants and the Mulberry community.
Graduation Ceremonies for JK, K and 5th grades
Parents help the teacher plan a ceremony to mark these special milestones. These celebrations help create wonderful memories as the children reflect via speeches, portraits and portfolios on where they've been and what is to come.
