WORLD-CLASS SHOPPING BLISS
HAPPENING NOW AT
bidpal.net/waldorf
- No one does an auction like WSOC. Our solicitation crew and community of parents hit this one out of the park. We are literally busting at the seams with beautiful, valuable, unique and heartfelt items, most of which are FOR SALE NOW on-line.
- Your support is needed. Please place a bid on an item today and forward the website link to friends and family. They will find great items, some things they won't find elsewhere, some things they are going to buy anyway. In either case, their shopping greatly benefits our school and they will be impressed by what we're offering.
Our event is basically SOLD OUT. We have a limited number of seats remaining which can be yours if you contact Denise Ogawa in the office promptly. Selection and seating is limited.
Many blissful thanks for the overwhelming show of enthusiasm and support. It matters.

First Grade Teacher for Class of 2025!
We are very pleased to announce that Lorri Valenzuela-Mier will be the first grade teacher for the Class of 2025. Lorri holds a BA in Research Psychology and pursued this area of study in a Master program at California State University of Long Beach. She will be among the first graduates of our own teacher training program here at WSOC.
We asked Lorri to share her enthusiasm in her own words:
"I've been fortunate to be a part of the WSOC community for seven years. I've served in various capacities - room rep, grant writer, Kindergarten assistant, grade one assistant, and currently grade two assistant. Each role has been fulfilling and fed my love of teaching, of Waldorf education and of our students. This experience, along with my past professional and personal endeavors, has helped me prepare for the biggest role yet: to be the new grade one teacher. Along with my partner Amy, I am the proud parent of Malachi (grade 7), Mathias (grade 4), and Acahni (future Wildcat). I will be completing my Waldorf teacher training program this June, and am fortunate to be surrounded by support in the College, the other teachers, and my mentor Chris Bennett. I am thrilled to begin my journey as a class teacher."
Please join us in welcoming Lorri into her new role!

WANNA-BE GOLFERS
AND FUN-SEEKERS.
SET UP YOUR FOURSOMES NOW. 
Save-the-Date
May 17, 2013
(A Friday!)
We hope you will join us for the 4th Annual WSOC Golf Tournament, "Driving for the Future", once again at the beautiful Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo. Accepting golfers of all levels for a great day of fun in support of the school. Also accepting all shoppers and fun-seekers for the after-golf party and auction.
Ask anyone who went last year, it was very fun and relaxed in a beautiful setting. We're hoping to expand the after-golf party element this year, so please plan to be there. This event is heavily attended by friends of WSOC families who golf, so please think about inviting your co-workers, weekend warrior buddies or anyone who wouldn't mind taking a Friday off of work for an excellent cause.
And to all the ladies out there...this is NOT a mens-only event. Could this be the year a ladies foursome brings home the big trophy! Come on ladies, this is the perfect excuse to hit the driving range. Let's go.
Proudly brought to you by
