Cheering on our middle school ultimate frisbee squad as they finish out their season today in a tournament! We have loved seeing their enthusiasm and joy of sport shine through this season. Go Spartans🌟!
In our Waldorf first grade classroom, we understand that children learn best when academics are conveyed through movement, storytelling, the arts, and other hands-on experiences that stir their emotions. We appreciate that beauty cultivates wonder and curiosity. We recognize that a lifelong love of learning comes from joy-filled days. Our young students not only understand the four processes of math and read books, they nurture that deep enthusiasm for the world all around them. Come experience our classroom for yourself - schedule a tour before summer break is here!
This past weekend’s middle school dance proved to be a night full of celebration, fun, and good moves! Our students have been preparing over the last several weeks to learn various social dances including the cha cha, foxtrot, waltz, and swing, plus some twist and electric slide! Social dancing is a part of our Waldorf curriculum not only for the benefits of movement, but also as a wonderful social outlet as they navigate the middle school years! Through their practice, they learn how to move together with a partner - developing respect for one another, confidence in movement, and a healthy appreciation of each person’s best efforts- all the while having fun. Big thank you to The Schoolboys (a band comprised mostly of DWS alumni parents!) and to @shiningmountainwaldorf, @bouldervalleywaldorfschool, and @waldorfschoolontheroaringfork for joining us!
Music unites us at a heart level. It reminds us of our human connection to one another - having to listen to each other, play our part, and come together in harmony. This week, we are so grateful to have been able to experience music together with concerts performed by grades 3 through 12. Through singing, guitar, string, and band instruments- we made connection and community. This is just one of the many reasons that music is a part of our curriculum for all grades 🎶!
Our classrooms certainly extend beyond the walls of our school. Earth Week and every day, we spend time outdoors- breathing the fresh air, soaking in the season, and connecting to the world around us. We cultivate an appreciation for the earth and its many gifts. We foster a sense of wonder and reverence for the natural world we share. Stewardship of the earth is an integral part of our curriculum and culture- believing that our work and commitment to environmental sustainability and social renewal can make a difference, together.
Just before the snow started falling 😅, our entire community gathered together to celebrate our spring festival, the Festival of Life Renewed. It is meant to be inclusive for all living on our earth, celebrating the health-giving rhythms of the year and bringing attention to the efforts toward sustainably honoring our planet. 

Bringing together several spring traditions, we started with a performance of “Finlandia,” and then moved outside to dance around the Maypole and celebrate Holi. Holi, also known as the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu spring holiday celebrated in India, Nepal, and in communities around the world. It is a festival of new beginnings, joy, laughter, love, and hope. Thanks to School Counselor Madhuri Deshmukh for sharing her tradition and the meaning behind Holi. We ended with activities hosted by Parent Council in celebration of the earth. 

Festivals are an integral part to the rhythm of life for us- giving meaning as our days pass and providing that sense of something grander than oneself. It is always a wonderful reminder of the gifts of community as we lift each other through shared music, a joyful celebration, and care for all that surrounds us!
In a wonderful Waldorf collision of worlds, our own Katie Moses Swope (DWS communications manager and parent) caught up with actor Luke Slattery @luke.slatts at the Team USA Media Summit - and he sent this special message to our community! We were lucky enough to have Luke as a part of the 8th grade DWS graduating class of 2005 with Ms. Wolf as his class teacher from grade 1 to 8. Luke recently played the role of the coxswain in “The Boys in the Boat” movie and he served as a moderator in this week’s media summit for a panel with the top Team USA contenders for outdoor water events. It is always fun to remember his days on the stage and in the classroom at DWS! 🚣🏅
We love this time of year filled with new growth, moments of wonder, and many celebrations! Join us on Friday for our school’s spring celebration, the Festival of Life Renewed. It is meant to be inclusive for all living on our earth, celebrating the health-giving rhythms of the year and bringing attention to the efforts toward sustainably honoring our planet. Bringing together several spring traditions, we will gather and play, sing and dance as our whole school community unites in celebrating the renewal of life and the passing of winter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All families are invited to join the students at 2:30 pm on the school playground to watch students sing, dance the maypole, celebrate Holi, and enjoy spring activities hosted by parent council. The festival activities will continue after school until 4:30 pm. We look forward to seeing you there ☀️🌷.
Deep roots were certainly established at this weekend’s Deep Roots Bright Future Gala! How wonderful it was to celebrate our school together with good food, good company, and generous spirits. We are incredibly thankful for our community that shares the enthusiasm for Waldorf education and belief in this bright future for our children. Thanks to the many helping volunteer hands, business sponsors including our branch level partner @twinkletogether , business donors, individual donors, faculty & staff, old friends & new for coming together for this event. We are continually humbled and inspired by the giving nature of our community, and are thankful to be on this path forward together!
This is our Flying Hearts Circus Club! We thoroughly enjoyed this week’s performance of joy, enthusiasm, and love for circus arts! And while we of course marvel at the aerial stunts, tricks on the rolling globe, and mastery of the unicycle, we know that the performance is not the sole focus of their practice. Rather, it is the gained confidence, trust in others, perseverance, courage, and of course FUN in movement that is the heart of our circus! 🎪
It has been wonderful to hear a few of our grades raising their voices in song to begin each morning, starting our days off in unison and harmony. They are practicing for our upcoming Festival of Life Renewed on April 19th!
