Dear Colleagues,

Many are in the grip of winter, but the light is slowly growing, and spring, with all of its promise, will be here before we know it.

We are delighted to bring you news of a recent joint meeting of the boards of our Alliance, the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA), and the Waldorf Early Childhood Association of North America (WECAN). This historic meeting took place over Martin Luther King Jr weekend and marked another step forward in collaboration on behalf of quality education for all children. The mood throughout was positive and optimistic as we learned more about the work of each association and got to know one another. (Click HERE to read the executive summary. Note that Rainbow Rosenbloom was in attendance but was absent for the photo op.)

Our next major opportunity for collaboration will be the June conference, hosted by all three associations – another first. We very much hope to see many of you there and especially hope that schools will send a representative for cross-school meetings and dialogue, to be held Tuesday June 23rd. We believe that we will all have much to gain from this opportunity to share and discuss our work. Register now to ensure your first choice of workshops and to use the early bird (member schools only) or group discounts.

Warm wishes and hopes for an early spring,

Liz Beaven
