Why is May Day celebrated in Waldorf Schools? | |
May Day is a Northern Hemisphere festival and is celebrated in many Waldorf schools. It is an ancient tradition of celebrating the arrival of summer. The May Pole Dance is a joyful experience, and often the center of the May Day celebration. The May Pole often bears garlands and symbolizes the tree of life and growth of spring vegetation.

Happy Mother's Day To:
Every mother, every grandmother, every caretaker, chosen families, queer mamas, genderqueer and trans parents, those who wanted to but were unable to be mothers, moms who have lost their children, and children who have lost their mothers.

A Mother is more than a memory. She is a living presence. Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well, she's your breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is your birthday morning. Your Mother lives inside your laughter and she's crystallized in every teardrop.
A mother shows every emotion...happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrows - all the while hoping and praying you will only know the good feelings in life.
She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.
Not time, not space, not even death!

Big thank you to...
Ali Goddard: who takes time from her busy schedule to support our school, teach our high schoolers about the legal system, lead our Parent Association, and so much more!
Kacey Moe-Vu for serving on many committees, offering meditation and awareness activities during meetings, and donating to the homeschool parade!
Gina Campbell for serving as a greater room lead for Sunflower and supporting the outdoor classroom space!
Virgie (Mrs. Arnold) is back at the high school! We are selfishly happy that Virgie and her husband have made the decision to relocate back to San Diego. Porland's loss is our gain!

Paintings from Grade 1: squirrels, wisteria vines and blossoms

PAINTING: The class works mainly with primary colors, experiencing the living quality of each color and its relationship to the others.
| | |
Mrs Carmichael says " A big part of Grade 8 work is the study of biography. Here are some of the lives that this year’s students chose. And these are their drawings." | Working from the rich literature available to this age group, students read novels relating to main lesson work, biographies, short stories, poetry, plays, and begin work with factual writings. | | | |

San Diego Seed Swap!
| |
Hand-harvested 15th generation Calendula seeds are being sent to the San Diego Seed Swap!
The students worked hard, harvesting, separating the seeds, writing all the planting and growing instructions, counting out the seeds, and putting together the seed packets (designed by Mr. Ian). Along with the seeds we sent recipes for Calendula oil, salve, and lip balm.
As part of the seed swap, we will receive back 25 different seed packets from other farmers in growing zones 9 and 10!

10th Grade at Camp Stevens! | |
We're so excited that our 10th grade was able to take their annual trip to Camp Stevens!
The students are working on the new goat home and enclosure! Despite the rain and cold the very first day, they were able to work and ended up ahead of schedule!
The rest of the week has been sunny and breezy, and they've all been getting their hands dirty making cob for the walls.

9th Grade Teagan and Sarah, Fan Fiction | |
Over Spring Break, Teagan Haskett and Sarah Behar got the idea to combine their two favorite shows, Mr. Robot (a drama, psychological, and techno-thriller) and Banana Fish (an action and crime thriller) into a crossover fanfiction titled Twin Spirits.
Their fanfiction ties these two worlds together, dragging Elliot and his sister, Darlene, directly into the frontlines of the battle between Ash, Eiji, and Papa Dino. While Elliot uses his hacking skills to assist in tearing down Dino’s throne in the underworld, Ash knocks heads with his long-time adversary, Fredrick Arthur, to save Darlene from his revenge-seeking clutches.
It is a — page story that contains spoilers from both shows. It took about three weeks to complete the first draft and —- to edit.

The course provides introductions to economic, literary and social justice concepts while considering the big question all Californians continue to face: how can we make our society just, prosperous and free for all? | | |
