Hay Day

HAY DAY 2025 SUPPLY LIST - UPDATED!

Just 1 week away!!! On Oct. 17th, we will be crafting, constructing, and choreographing creative chaos! This is our 10th Hay Day here at Folsom. Hay Day is going to be great and it would not have been possible without the enthusiasm of the students, the willingness of workshop leaders to step out of their comfort zone, and TO ALL the families who take the time to read my notes of need for the year. It's exciting for me to have community members and parents jump into that leadership role again. Together we will be offering over 30 workshops during the day and most require stuff! I am compiling a list of seemingly random things to purchase, things to borrow, OR find/gather from the great outdoors or the back of a closet. I am pumped to see what treasures make their way through the door yet again this year.

Lots of ways to help…
