“Receive them in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom” ~Rudolf Steiner 

The Senior Class visits the Grade 4 Classroom this week to remember their days in Grade 4 with Mrs. Moulton.

It has been a tender experience this week with the Class of 2025 as we prepare to send them forth into the world. They have spent the week reminiscing about their journey through the school, experiencing special moments of closure with high school faculty, students, and one another. There have been songs, stories, and toasts celebrating all they have experienced and all they are yet to encounter in the world.

As part of their walk through the grades this week, they spent some time in the Grade 4 classroom with Chava Moulton, their Grade 4 teacher. Revisiting the past to prepare to step into your future is a powerful Waldorf Moment.

The Waldorf seniors are poised to make their mark on the world with creativity, courage, and a deep sense of purpose. Whether through the arts, sciences, community service, or entrepreneurship, they carry with them a strong sense of responsibility and a vision for a better, more human-centered future. We will always hold a piece of them in our hearts, as their journey has enriched our faculty, campus, and community. Good job, Class of 2025. The world awaits you.

Handwork Joy

Last week we had a real handwork treat! Mr. Garcia brought his sheep so that students could see the origins of the wool and yarn that they use. There were squeals of delight as they interacted with these gentle creatures. Thank you, Mr. Garcia, for this special experience!

A Waldorf Moment

As the seniors walked the campus this week, they paused for a photo in the Grade 6 classroom. Many members of the senior class have siblings in the 6th grade. It is this cross-grade community connection that enriches so many Waldorf Moments throughout the year.
