Enjoy your snow day❄️! May the children enjoy the unexpected opening for the grand possibilities of tunnel digging, sledding, hot cocoa drinking, and soaking in the magic of a winter wonderland. We look forward to coming together again on Monday. Stay warm 🌟

This is the reason for our lantern walks each fall. To see how our own little light shines. To be that spark of light in the world for those around us. To shine bright together, illuminating our shared goodness. Last night, our younger grades braved the cold to light the path forward with their crafted lanterns. With the snow softly falling and sweet singing voices, it was a beautiful reminder of the light within each of us and the capacity of our community!

This is what democracy looks like!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are so proud of our 18-year-old seniors who voted in their first election today! We are grateful to have their voices shaping the narratives that define our country. Today, seeing their enthusiasm to be active participants in our country, they give us hope.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we vote, we stand on the shoulders of giants — those who organized, protested, and sacrificed so that “we the people” could express our hopes and desires. Voting is an act of affirmation, a conscious choice that influences our communities and honors the ongoing work of building a multicultural democracy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To see our students live out the lessons in our curriculum - to meaningfully express their values, to participate in our democracy, and to engage thoughtfully with complex social issues - is a full circle moment for us as educators to see the importance of the work we do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The future looks bright with DWS seniors rising up to be part of our next generation shaping our country.

Signs of Día de los Muertos can be seen all throughout our school - from our main entrance with our school’s altar (ofrenda) to the form drawings created by our 3rd graders, we weave rich tradition and culture into our curriculum with much celebration. Día de los Muertos is a time for celebrating and honoring the lives of our deceased loved ones. It is a celebration that originated with the Aztecs, and is a tradition that allows us to honor our ancestors with presentations of food, sweets, joy, happiness, and hope for their well being. Many of our students celebrated with cutting papel picado, making paper flowers, painting sugar skulls, and enjoying pan de muerto. A big thank you to our teachers and families that helped bring these special traditions to our students.

We love these times of seasonal celebration that bring our community together. Whether it’s our 1st and 8th grade buddies carving pumpkins together, or our 7th graders leading our youngest through a magical Halloween Journey, or our parade around the park as an entire school - we are grateful for the creativity, joy, and dedication that fosters togetherness in our cherished community celebrations!

We’ve had a full season of fall field trips, and we couldn’t be more grateful for our extended classrooms! Pictured here is our 7th grade class exploring the trails together during their camping trip to Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. They were able to spend time discovering the wild without the distractions and noise of the busy world around us, all the while cultivating appreciation for nature. From scrambling on rocks at the campsite to exploring caves, it was a trip full of adventure, growth, and fun. Our annual class trips are a beloved aspect of our education - giving much opportunity for development individually and collectively as a class community.

“Morning has come,
Night is away.
Rise with the Sun
And welcome the day.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We always begin our days outside, especially with the beauty of fall all around us! Whether it’s our 5th graders sharing a morning jump rope together, or our 2nd graders doing their skip counting with movement, or the 6th graders doing a lap around the building- we like to move under the autumn trees and open skies 🍂. With our bodies engaged, we are ready for a day of learning and development of our whole selves!

This is the joy of sport. We couldn’t be more proud of our middle and high school girls volleyball teams as they wrap up their seasons! The middle school A team will close out their season on Monday with a tournament. The high school girls will finish their regular season next week, with senior night happening at HOME next Tuesday! We love seeing their enthusiasm and dedication to their teammates, themselves, and to the joy of the game. Go Spartans🌟!

The Halloween Journey is almost upon us! This is a yearly favorite of our youngest students - all ECE through 3rd grade families are invited to journey with our 7th grade as they lead them through our transformed playground and embark on a wonder-filled exploration together. The 7th graders have been busy writing their original scripts and preparing the sets for their short performances that are sure to bring magic (and perhaps some treasures too) to our little ones. Come by between 4:30-6 pm on Wednesday 10/30 and wear those costumes! 🌟

There is a common misconception that Waldorf schools are strictly anti-technology. Yes, the Waldorf approach to education has always emphasized the importance of giving room to our children’s imaginations to blossom - to be open to receive the beauty of the world we live in, to be free to grow into their unique selves, to nurture their creative spirits - and time away from technology is a significant part of this belief.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the same time, our Waldorf school is not inherently anti-technology. Yes, you will not find iPads or computers in our kindergartens or lower grades. Yes, our students are asked to leave any phones that come to school in their lockers during the day. And while in our classrooms you will see the focus is on the human to human connection between teacher and student, we do however integrate technology in an intentional and developmentally appropriate manner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In our high school, for example, our students do engage with digital tools that complement their hands-on curriculum - whether through research, graphic design, programming, 3D printing, etc., our students are well versed in using technology as a tool to support their creativity. With our intentional approach, our students are prepared to navigate the digital world both thoughtfully and responsibly. (And if you’re curious on learning more about our high school experience, reminder to join us for an informational session with students and faculty TODAY at 4pm!)

Our 3rd graders have been learning all about linear and weight measurements, so naturally they created their own scales and rulers to practice with ⚖️📏! After using a stick, string, 2 cups, and 6 gems (1 oz) to create their simple scale, they explored around our school to weigh sand, chestnuts, etc. To make their rulers, they first began by sanding their wood, and then carefully marked the measurement lines before measuring just about everything around them. Our approach to the lesson is always multifaceted - allowing the children to engage fully brings about not only a deeper understanding, but also an enthusiasm for learning!
