Sasha Festival 2021 - post 8

The Dress-A-Sasha contest was held this afternoon. I didn’t enter, but I had fun viewing and photographing all the entries. There were two themes this year.

Sasha & Gregor Read: “We engage in reading and literacy activities every day in many ways! How do Sasha, Gregor, toddlers, and even babies show how much they walrus reading?”

Neighborhood Helpers: “We interact with community helpers every day. Show how your ‘kids’ engage with their favorite helpers in the neighborhood!”

The entries were divided into three categories:

JUNIOR MADE/ASSEMBLED

(1) “Trip to the Sasha Rainbow Library. Big sister Bella took her little sister Charlotte to the library. The nice librarian Mr Luke read them some books and Charlotte played with the felt board. Now, Mr Luke is putting on a puppet show.” (All the kids won a prize, but #1 received the most votes - Benjamin W.)




(2) “Bedtime reading includes dressing in literature themed clothing. Sasha is wearing her Wizard of OZ dress. Baby is wearing a Beatrix Potter themed nightie.”



(3) “Sasha loves Reading and Dr. Seuss”

It is not the things you have that make you happy. It is love and kindness and helping each other and just plain being good.  ~Laura Ingalls Wilder”
