As you know, on the weekend of April 7, 8, 9, and 10, 2011, many Waldorf alumni of all kinds (parents, teachers, alumni, grandparents, board members, friends) will be in New Orleans, helping the Waldorf School of New Orleans and working with the St. Bernard Project on  much-needed efforts in that unique city. The Waldorf community will be rebuilding and celebrating in service, reunion, and fun.

Some of the projects we'll be working on include lazure painting of classrooms, and if there's enough time, interest, and talent, perhaps even painting some murals. Or perhaps you have an interest in carpentry? The school needs a large shed built for storage and a porch for play. We'll also be helping to design a playground: building hills and tunnels, moving some garden beds, and providing structures. There is also furniture to be built - the school needs bookshelves, tables, and rocking chairs. You can check out the St. Bernard Project website for other projects as well.

The message boards are live on the Why Waldorf Works Alumni Corner - do go there now and sign up to join us. There are still some travel assistance funds available if you're interested.
