Gingerbread House Auction Fundraiser
The people in our community are highly supportive of anything the children do and this fundraiser was surprisingly successful, even though it was a brand new event at Christmas.
The children were thrilled to view their handiwork in a real art gallery. We always love to encourage creativity in youngsters however we can.

Yum Yum House
Organizing the Gingerbread House Auction
She helped a club of high school students aspiring to be community leaders to supervise work times for the younger children. The lower grades built simplified graham cracker houses.
High school students did elaborate gingerbread houses like the Yum Yum House as individual class projects in the today's version of our old home ec classes.

A Christmas Village of Tiny Houses
Diversity of Design
Some children focused on one kind of candy as the dominant design tool. Others took a far more helter skelter approach. One little boy packed his house full of candy and was upset when he learned he could not take it home as it was going to be in the auction. However, he later won a prize for his house so all was well.
Just like the children themselves, all the wee graham cracker houses were delightful and different.
