Our Rhythm
|
We are a Preschool through 8th grade community, operating September to June. School is closed for summer break, including Preschool. We celebrate festivals, offer family education, work together on our farm, and find ways to connect to the seasons and each other. The Social Justice Committee has monthly meetings and also plans events. In the summer we host Farm Camp at our school Farm. |

Community Events & Festivals

Your Body, Your Story, Your Screen: Ben Klocek - March 1, 7pm
Community Education Event on Zoom You've noticed the countless heads bent over a phone, felt the ache in your shoulders and eyes after hours on a computer, seen screen-bound children who struggle to move on the playground. What effect is our screen time having on our bodies and lives? Join Ben Klocek, web designer, teacher, and Sacramento Waldorf School alumni, for a look at how our experience forms our body and how screen time changes both. He offers an online presentation and discussion to explore what we can do to care for ourselves, and help our children to thrive in the digitally focused world, without sacrificing imagination, creativity, deep-thinking, presence, and our relationships. |

Plant A Party - April 2 - In-Person!
The best party of the year is coming back! We will joyfully reconnect and celebrate our school community. This event provides vital funds for school operations and helps to bridge the gap for our essential tuition assistance. For the past seven years, hundreds of parents and local residents have bid on items to support our cause. In order to grow and cover the expenses of being a school in San Francisco, we hope to raise $200,000 this year.
Auction items are coming in and we're in need of your support to solicit more fantastic items. Soliciting items through personal contacts is most effective. Our hope is that every family can solicit three items.
Save the date, lend a hand, see you there!
