ACCREDITATION
 
           UPDATE            

I am hoping that many of you have taken the time to look over our self study. If you haven't had a chance, CLICK HERE  

We are preparing for our 7 visiting accreditation team members that will arrive on February 27.

The teachers agreed this year to have the Parent Association forego 'Teacher Appreciation' and instead focus their energy on providing the hospitality needed for our guests. If you are interested in lending a hand to make the accreditation team feel the warmth of our community you can send me an e-mail at gilles@waldorfschool.com

Tip for the Week
SLOW DOWN! The speed limit has not changed, it is still 25 mph on your way in. Once in the parking lot, it reduces to a maximum of 15 mph. Please be aware of your speed at all times.

You are most warmly invited to come and join us for 

Rudolf Steiner's 150th Birthday Celebration

 

Monday, March 7

7 p.m.

in the Eurythmy Hall

 

After introductory Eurythmy and music, there will be four speakers with contributions on different aspects of Rudolf Steiner's life and work.  At the end there will be some time for questions and comments, and the evening will close with another brief presentation of Eurythmy.

 

Do come along and find out more about 'the teachers' teacher,' without whom none of us would be here at WSOC.
