Thank you to all of the families, parents, teachers, alumni, and community members that came to support the May Day Festival on Saturday, May 6th as congratulations to the 8th Grade Class for completing their Service Projects!
Join Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School (HVS) and Jan Goeschel for “Education for the 21st Century: Creating Resonant Spaces for Embodied Learning.” Jan will address how we can create an education that addresses the needs of today, what kind of inner development is needed so that we can be effective in social and cultural transformation, and more.
The senior class returned from their Global Works trip to the Andalusia region of Spain. For several days everyone lived with and volunteered in the community Fundación Escuela de Solidaridad outside of Granada, learning about their Camphill-like social therapy approach and enjoying their warmth and appreciation.
Throughout the year, Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School creates festivals so that our students might become encouraged to wake up, to join together, and to celebrate our shared journey with nature. By strengthening our relationship with the Earth we will better find each other.
Students found some lovely wildflowers at Fire Pond and admired them from afar; the children spotted a big bullfrog and a tiny little baby painted turtle. The joy in their voices as they stood and admired the natural wonder through their class curriculum—this is what fills our hearts as teachers!
Join us for the Class of 2023 Senior Project Presentations, this Friday, April 21st at 7:00 pm and Saturday, April 22nd at 2:00 pm in the school Assembly Hall.
Spring invites us to open our eyes to the gift of renewal. Rachel Carson said that, “One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, “What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?”
Each time we reach out in relationship with others, we strengthen our sense of humanity and participate in the changes upon which our society’s future depends. We look forward to strengthening our connections and continuing the conversation of how we might best support our students and our community.
Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School is calling all thespians ages 10-16 to join HVS Alumnus Solomon Bergquist (Class of 2020) for an intensive exploration of the world of William Shakespeare at Summer’s Lease Camp from June 19th – July 1st between 10:00 am – 4:00 p
The HVS Grade 10 Class performed “The Enchanted,” a comedy by Jean Giraudoux, adapted from the French by Maurice Valency. This full-length production required a great deal of work in a short period of time, and the students rose to the challenge admirably.
