Parades, flowers and, hopefully, no spring showers are on the agenda for a local charter school hosting a fair and auction.
Ocean Charter School, a Waldorf-informed educational facility in West Los Angeles, will hold its 2nd Annual Spring Faire and Silent Auction from noon to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 20, at 12606 Culver Blvd., two blocks west of Centinela.
General admission and parking are free. The Faire celebrates spring and features a children’s parade, Maypole dance and activities for all ages, including the making of beautiful fresh flower garlands, games of skill, face painting, henna tattoos, and the ever-popular dunk tank.
Culturally diverse entertainment will include music and dance performances, as well as a puppet show.
Children will be able to spend time in the “Flower Fairy Tea House” while grownups peruse the many treasures for the silent auction.
There are over 300 items donated by families and community merchants, ranging from travel options, sporting events to the school’s homemade class baskets.
Ocean Charter School is a community of families and educators using teaching methods intended to nurture and educate children in a multi-cultural, urban environment. It’s committed to achieving academic excellence through experiential learning, enhancing the growth of curiosity and imagination through the rigorous practice of an arts integrated curriculum.
