We had such a FABULOUS time at this year's ARTY PARTY! Check out this wrap-up video to share in the fun and see all the amazing donors who made this event possible!
Thank you so much to everyone who supported this event ... by attending, by purchasing raffle tickets, by bidding on art, and by selecting items from the CWS Wish List! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our communty, this event helped raise ...
✨$29,838✨
On behalf of the students and faculty at the Cincinnati Waldorf School, thank you!!!
Please Support the CWS Wish List!
We are still $10,000 away from reaching our fundraising goal for the '24-'25 school year ...
But when you make your selection from the CWS Wish List, you can help close this gap!
The CWS Wish List allows you to provide direct support for arts programming at the Cincinnati Waldorf School. Many families have already made their selections, providing $2,250 in direct support for our students and faculty!
If you haven't made your selections, we really are counting on you!

Congratulations to the Petersen Family!
Choral Music Teacher Adam Petersen and his wife, Mattie, are proud and delighted to announce the birth of their second daughter - Magnolia Ruth Petersen!
"Noli" was born just after midnight, early on the morning of Monday, March 31. She clocked in at 9 lbs. 7 oz, 22 ¾". Adam says that sister Lumi (3 ½) has evolved naturally and graciously into her role as doting big sister ❤️
During this precious time, Adam and Mattie have been deeply moved by the warm embrace of family and friends. We know they would be so appreciative if you would like to prepare and drop off a meal through their MEAL TRAIN. Thank you for helping to hold and congratulate them!
