The board of the Plum Hill School and the Island Waldorf community wish to extend a heartfelt (if somewhat belated) thanks to everyone that attended and/or organized our Elves Faire during Christmas in Edgartown. The mild December day was made all the warmer by the hundreds of smiling faces, young and old, that came through the doors of the Port Hunter to support our Waldorf-inspired preschool. With so many folks lending a hand it is impossible to mention them all here but know we the board members are so grateful to the community for supporting the event which provides the lion’s share of our school’s fundraising.

We are so thankful that year after year so many Island businesses and individuals donate quality items or services to our auction. Though an exhaustive list of those who volunteered or donated items would run pages, we cannot end our letter of thanks without recognizing Ted and Patrick Courtney, the owners of Port Hunter restaurant, who generously allowed the use of their beautiful space on Main street. We are so proud of our school and the nurturing, nature-based education that it provides for our little ones. It is because of the Island community and their support for events like the Elves’ Fair that Plum Hill School has continued to thrive.
