Waldorf School of Princeton
On April 24th The Development Committee of the Waldorf School of Princeton (WSP) had planned to hold a Barn Bash to celebrate and feature Waldorf Education both locally and globally, and to reunite alumni/ community members spanning the 37 year history of the School. The event was scheduled to showcase Founding Members of the WSP Communit y in this light as the Community reconnected and welcomed in the surrounding Princeton area; all against the backdrop of a live concert, auction and revelry held at the Antique Barn at Cashel in Hillsborough. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced the School to postpone the initial event, and to re-imagine it in a virtual environment. At a higher level the Waldorf School of Princeton has reimagined and implemented its singularly unique curriculum for virtual learning, while the supporters of the school in conjunction with the board set up the School’s COVID-19 Fund to secure and strengthen the School’s future. The Waldorf School of Princeton Communit y has risen to
the challenges posed by the pandemic, yet certain challenges remain ahead, so we have re-doubled our efforts to bolster the COVID -19 Fund to help sustain current and future programs and to support students, families, faculty, and staff who may be affected by the crisis. Just as the School has embraced technology as a tool to empower meaningful distance learning and virtual classrooms, so has it re-imagined its year-end Barn Bash Celebration for a virtual audience. On Saturday, June 13th from 5:458:30 p.m., WSP will hold a Live Virtual Celebration featuring Gravity Hill Band Unplugged, Magic of Marco, an Online Auction, and the media from the history of School from the past 37 years through the present. All the proceeds from the event will go towards the COVID-19 Fund. Please join the Waldorf S chool of P r inceton on Saturday, June 13th from 5:45-8:30 p.m. for a Virtual Barn Bash featuring live magic, music and auctions. For more information please visit princetonwaldorf.org/ barn-bash, and to donate an item for the auction email development@princetonwaldorf.org.
