Little Pumpkin Patch: A Mini Version of Live Oak's Annual Pumpkin Path

On Friday, October 22, Live Oak Waldorf School's seventh grade class created a magic kingdom for the preschool and kindergarten children of Live Oak.

Little ones. ranging from ages 3 to 6, were greeted by helpful fairies who guided them through an enchanted forest. On their journey, they visited with mischievous gnomes, a brave knight who had just tamed a dragon as well as a welcoming royal fairy court.


After the magical walk, the tykes were treated to popcorn and fresh apple juice. One of the highlights of the festivities was to help press the apples into juice using an antique apple press. After snacking and playing in the pumpkin meadow, children were allowed to choose a pumpkin to take home with them.

This is the second year this class of adolescents has offered this event to their younger schoolmates. From assembling costumes, to creating magical scenes, to offering a wholesome skit, to pressing apples and making popcorn, this event was certainly a festivity to remember!


Additionally, Live Oak Waldorf School will host it's annual Pumpkin Path on Saturday, October 30, beginning at 5:00 pm. This event is an offering for the whole community and is so popular it sells out every year.
