🎶 Michaelmas Time, Michaelmas Time! 🎶 Last Friday, our entire grades program worked together to perform our traditional pageant telling the story of St. Michael taming the dragon. Afterwards, we celebrated with dragon bread made by our students and field games where students showed off their courage and strength! Michael reminds us all that we have the courage to stand up to the dragons in our lives, especially as the days begin to grow shorter and darker. Wishing you all a beautiful Michaelmas! ✨🐉

On Friday, September 25, Richmond Waldorf School will celebrate Michaelmas with a pageant performed for the community by the students in the grades, share Dragon Bread together, and have Field Games for the grades students. The season of Michaelmas is also felt in our classrooms, from Early Childhood to Grade 8, in the songs, verses and artistic activities that characterize this time of the year. The archangel Michael is the embodiment of courage and lends his strength to those who struggle against the forces of darkness. At Richmond Waldorf School we are doing our small part to realize this vision. At Michaelmas time, we especially try to put ideals into action to look beyond what others and the world need. The world is full of dragons that spread hatred and fear, doubt and destruction, but they also present opportunities. In the pageant that our students perform, the dragon that terrorizes the kingdom is tamed, not slain. He is led into service, and his strength is used for the good. Let us hope that this picture strengthens our students as they move forward into the future. Let us hope that it inspires them to work to make the world a better place. #festivals #waldorfeducation #michaelmas
