Shining Mountain celebrates the coming of spring with a May Pole celebration during school hours. All families are welcome to meet in the courtyard of the lower school where the festivities will begin. Everyone will then follow the 1st through 8th Grades to the field outside the Festival Hall for music and dancing around the May Pole, followed by a community picnic.
As with Michaelmas, the Kindergartens celebrate the May Pole with their own separate festival day, with May Pole dancing followed by a community picnic.
