St. Louis Living Arts School Partners with Saakaate House to Create Standout Eco-Friendly Tree for Festival of Trees
St. Louis Living Arts School (STL), in collaboration with
Women's Shelter, Saakaate House, proudly participated in this year’s Kenora and
Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation Festival of Trees. Together,
they created an eco-friendly "Gifting Tree" that embodies a shared
commitment to caring for the earth and fostering a sense of community.
Inspired by this year’s theme, "Holiday Dreams at the
Lake," the tree was adorned with meaningful, handcrafted decorations that
celebrate nature and sustainability. Students and members of Saakaate House
worked together to design ornaments such as clay fish, driftwood and sea glass
trees, beeswax snowflakes, birdseed wreaths, felted wool stars, tins of orange
lavender salve, and bags of Winter Dreams Mulling Spices.
