The year is winding down, and so may your ideas for healthy lunches that your kids will eat. Our current Grade 8 has been serving Hot Lunch (and cold lunch) all year, helping to raise money for their trip to Colorado, where they will be white water rafting, camping, and working on an Indian Reservation. (See deerhillexpeditions.com for more information about their trip).
How can you continue to help? By ordering through www.choicelunch.com, where $1 from every order goes to the class. We are almost there! Please consider ordering. Again, the website is www.choicelunch.com and the school code is: waldorfoc
Some options:

2012-2013 YEARBOOKS
THANK YOU TO KEN GRODY FORD
Have you heard the news? The yearbook which is normally $25 is being sponsored by our friends at Ken Grody Ford. This means if you're a student here, you receive one for free the last week of school.
The yearbook, thanks to whiz kid and stellar volunteer, Piet Agle, is headed off to the printer in days.
If you would like an extra family copy, please come into the office with $25. The deadline is TOMORROW, May 10.
Paying it forward....some community members are taking the inspiration of a free yearbook and turning it into a donation for WSOC. The $25 they would have paid for the yearbook is now an additional tax-deductible Annual Giving gift or a contribution toward the much-needed Handwork/Woodwork Renovation announced at the Gala. We have received many gifts of this loving nature. If you have never heard about this amazing campus improvement, you missed a newsletter or two and it's okay. Contact Denise Ogawa or Gina Illes in the office.
Thank you for the Yearbooks Ken Grody Ford and for the amazing support of our school.
An overwhelming thank you to our friends at....
