Michaelmas Time, Michaelmas Time!
With music, laughter, and shared strength, we marked this turning of the seasons in true Waldorf tradition!
The Sweet Pea Preschool children spent weeks stringing and drying marigolds to make a golden dye for their Michaelmas silks. The week of Michaelmas, the children were planting bulbs and hearing the story of St Michael and the Rainbow Children. In the story, St Michael tames the dragon and gifts the children with a golden silk for courage and protection.


CWS Walkathon - October 28th!
Ms. Spinney's second grade class is over HALF WAY to their class goal! Ms. Schewe's sixth grade class is just behind them, almost half way to their class goal! WAY TO GO!
25 days left until...
GRADES AND HIGH SCHOOL:
This will take place on Tuesday, October 28th. All students in Grades 1-12 will participate in a pep rally at 1:15pm (hosted by our brand new Spirit Squad!) and will then embark on the walking/running route at 1:30pm to meet class (and individual) mile/step goals. Sunrise Kindergarten will participate in a mini-lap inside the bowl. Students are invited to bring their Halloween costumes to school on Tuesday, October 28th and change into them for the pep rally and Walk-a-thon! EARLY CHILDHOOD:
We encourage you to bring your children at 1:15pm and join the fun by participating in a mini-lap inside the bowl!
___________________________________________________________________________
A form with a QR code will be given to every student. Students can go to their families, friends and neighbors and ask for pledges. Pledges can be donated by donating to the student’s team (GiveButter.com/CWS). Families are encouraged to enjoy dinner at Chipotle on Wooster after the event (4pm-8pm). Mention that you are with CWS, and Chipotle will donate 25% of the proceeds to CWS!
This is an exciting opportunity to build school spirit; it is also an important way for students and families to help raise essential funds for CWS.
Class Goal: $3,000
All classes who reach 100% class participation will enjoy a pizza party for lunch on Monday, November 3rd.
All classes who reach the class goal of $3,000 will enjoy a sweet treat with their lunch on Monday, November 3rd.
The class to reach their class goal of $3,000 first will get to Dunk-a-Teacher in the Dunk Booth before we walk!
CWS relies on community support to fulfill our mission. Donations to the CWS Walk-a-Thon are tax deductible and help meet our areas of greatest need including teacher support and training and building maintenance and repair. Thank you for your support and good luck, Teams!
