We have wonderful things turning up daily. Just in – a fabulous opportunity to own an Eli Wilner handcrafted picture frame, a couple of sessions with the extraordinary “Holy Mama” Jerilyn Brownstein, a special date night dinner at Sant Ambroeus, four tickets to the hugely popular Cheese 101 class at Murray’s Cheese and $100 to spend at Union Market. We can’t wait to start bidding!
And please mark your calendars for the launch party at VON – Wednesday November 20th, 6 – 8pm, generously sponsored by our families from Von and Murray’s Cheese with complimentary drinks and food. It’s a great opportunity to get the community together and it’s always a fun evening.

Lantern Walk this Friday, November 8th
Friday, November 8th
4:30-5:30 PM
El Jardin del Paraiso Community Garden (enter on E. 4th Street btwn Aves C & D)
The lantern walk at New Amsterdam is a celebration taking place halfway between the fall equinox and the winter solstice.
As the sunlight dwindles and night lengthens we gather as a community, outdoors at sunset, to share warm cider and then together find a pathway through the darkness. We sing traditional lantern songs and are guided by the light of lanterns which the children have helped to make at school and which they carry to illuminate the way. The festival ends quietly as the children receive a small gift from the teachers and a magical experience to carry home and into sleep.

Wanted: Date Night
Yep, it’s the Holiday Auction Committee again, cajoling everyone we know to give us something fabulous for our hugely popular and wildly successful Holiday Auction … Wonderful goodies are arriving at the school each day, and we’re very excited about all sorts of things – from luxury salon experiences and a wonderful farm camp to picture framing and piano lessons. Thank you EVERYONE for all your hard work and generosity so far.
We were thinking it would be fun to offer some exciting Date Night experiences– so please do continue to ask your favourite eateries, or theatres or music venues – anything – to consider a donation. And given that we’re almost to November, now is the time to be following up on all those people that you asked weeks ago that have forgotten to get back to you ...
All donations are due by November 8th.
And book your babysitters for the launch party at
VON on Wednesday, November 20th, 6–8pm
generously sponsored by Von and Murray's Cheese.
It’s a great community mixer that introduces new and old families while having fun on behalf of our school.
