CELEBRATING A FROSTY SPRING This year, students, teachers, parents, grandparents and home school groups visiting from Taos and Albuquerque put on their warmest winter gear to celebrate Mayfaire and Grandparents and Friends Day....What? Instead of warm weather as expected, Santa Fe had seasonally low temperatures for our two favorite spring holidays. This didn’t stop one of our largest crowds ever from gathering for Grandparents and Friends Day, and attending a lunch at which Grade 1 teacher Megan Rosker spoke about the importance of free play. And the next day, the entire school bundled up to enjoy the Mayfaire dances being performed in the snow, followed by crafts and cake walks.

Help our school thrive! The Santa Fe Waldorf School, like all non-profit independent schools, relies on a combination of both tuition and fundraising to support its everyday operations. Generous donations to our Annual Fund are very important to build a bridge between our income and expenses that allow our school community to thrive. Your charitable tax-deductible gifts help us to minimize tuition increases and are invested right back into our school community in many ways. With your help, together we can help our school grow and flourish year after year. Visit santafewaldorf.org/donate-now.
