As we move, sometimes struggling to find the dance, sometimes giddy with play, we form patterns. We make visible to one another a woven fabric, each one making visible the often invisible, intangible links of human relationships.
The History of Orchard Valley
During each of the two biggest snowstorms of this 2022 winter, folks gathered around their glowing zoom screens for a recollection of the history of Orchard Valley Waldorf School. These conversations ignited from a requirement by the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America, and set Orchard Valley on a path to begin composing a substantial self-study document. This includes a written history of our school that will be shared with our mentor school later this spring.
Martin's Dream Came Alive This Summer
Our Orchard Valley Waldorf School has always represented an effort toward an inclusive community. From the beginning, we have been dedicated to offering an accessible Waldorf program and for 17 years our community has worked tirelessly to make our program accessible to anyone who seeks a Waldorf Education. More recently, we took up a deeper examination of systemic racism in our habits and the Waldorf Movement, and I felt prepared and willing to take up the task of creating a Waldorf Anti-Racism Summer Camp.
