BRATTLEBORO — The Neighborhood Schoolhouse invites families to celebrate the magical side of the Halloween season for the eighth year in a row. The school will host its annual Enchanted Halloween event from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 28, on the school’s campus on Solar Hill at 231 Western Ave.
Highlights include a bouncy house, pumpkin painting, scarecrow making, face painting, tarot readings, homemade food, and plenty of other fun. Proceeds from the event benefit the school’s scholarship fund, which most students at the school benefit from.
“Our scholarship fund makes it possible for all students to experience our unique educational model, which blends a rich academic curriculum with social learning and genuine community,†said Alissa Bourque, principal of Neighborhood Schoolhouse, in a news release.
Founded in 1980, The Neighborhood Schoolhouse is an independent, progressive school for children age six weeks through 12 years. The school emphasizes hands-on learning and multi-age interaction and values social-emotional development as an integral part of its curriculum.
