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!

This is our Artisan Courtyard - a place outside where our students imagine, create, and build through woodworking, stone carving, copper work and more. It is a place for us to live out our practical arts curriculum, making way for the development of grit, perseverance, and the hard work of our hands and hearts! As one of our students mentioned, we are incredibly grateful to have this outdoor space, but “it could be better” 😉 - and that’s where our DWS Gala comes in on 4/13! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will be fundraising to reimagine this space as a beautiful and functional place for our students to both work and relax together. We are going to have fun together raising money for our wonderful school with a live auction, silent auction, and special appeal for the Artisan Courtyard. You can still grab your ticket on our website - ticket purchase includes dinner, dessert, late night snacks, and a drink ticket. Join us for an evening of community and celebration!
You always know spring break is around the corner when the kindergarten baskets of grass are full of life 🌱. Just as we go about our days with daily and weekly rhythms, we also nurture seasonal rhythms - connecting us to one another as well as to nature. This week, there was much spring celebration with story, song, egg hunts, special snacks, and some handmade treasures to take home too. We hope to cultivate that deep appreciation for the world around us with wonder and joy! Wishing all of our students a wonderful break soaking in the season 🌸.
This week our 3rd graders had the rare opportunity to witness two baby chicks hatching right before their very eyes. The students stood very patiently and excitedly, waiting and watching for 40 minutes while “Buster” busted its way out of the egg. The chick now joins 10 other chicks that will live in the classroom for a couple weeks before going to stay on a ranch, where the students will be able to visit later this spring for a field trip! It was a beautiful reminder of the gifts that spring brings with its renewal of life and new beginnings. 🌱🐣
