This is a preview of our bulletin for the week of January 28th, 2024
In nature, so many creatures hide during winter. In 5th and 6th Grade, students drew and colored their own skunks, bunnies, ants, turtles, bats, hedgehogs, prairie dogs, and more, then hid them under the little flaps you see here. It was a sweet interpretation that hangs in our hallway now.

As we prepared for our community event A Waldorf Winter Walk-Through last Friday night, teachers were busy with their chalkboard drawings; these helped highlight one of the many ways stories are shared with students in their classrooms all year long.
This gorgeous passport keepsake was made by our own
Miss Crandall, to help celebrate the night.
With passports in hand, children served as tour-guides for their parents as families made their way from one classroom to another. Stamps created by the middle school students awaited eager travelers at stamp stations in each room. The classrooms were decorated with student work so we could all celebrate the good work done throughout this half of the year.
Thank you all for attending........
6th and 7th Graders worked with watercolors to paint our feathered friends - the male and female cardinal. Look at their completed artwork!
