October 2023

The mornings are crisp and the familiar feeling of leaves beneath our boots has returned once again. While many dread the arrival of the darker months, it’s hard to deny how spectacular our autumns truly are. The shorter days bring more time for nestling in at home and enjoying the bounty of the fall harvest. The October issue of NW Kids has a guide to some of the best spots to head out and pick a perfect pumpkin, pick apples or spend a full day enjoying a corn maze, a hay ride and a warm cup of cider. This is also the first School Open House Guide of the 2023-2024 season. Take a look at the many options that are available to us here, from infant through high school age! While many schools have open house events in the fall, most that don’t are happy to schedule a tour for your family. We will see you back here in November with the first of our holiday issues. It will be filled with winter break camps, holiday performances, events and much more. Until then, stay safe and enjoy all that an October in Portland has to offer.

Cheers,

Mary
