Last month, our 5th and 6th graders rounded out their year long study of Botany with an incredible 3-day camping trip at the Spikenard Bee Sanctuary. Alex, head beekeper at the sanctuary, provided our students with an enormous amount of hands on learning and interaction with these important pollinators. Our students came home invigorated by all they learned, and full of ideas on how our community can better support and care for the bees! 🐝 #waldorfeducation #savethebees #savetheplanet #outdooreducation #nomowmay #beeeducation #spikenardfarm

New on the blog- we sat down with our music teacher, Catherine Flynn, as she wraps up her first year with us at RWS. 

“I am a strong believer that everyone is a musician, and we are born with the ability to be musical. Music is a part of the world and it’s a part of life, and Waldorf has reiterated that for me.” 

Enjoy the entire interview through the in our bio! 🎶
