The May day celebration at my daughter's school

Mom came this weekend to visit and that was really nice. She came for grandparents day at my daughter's school and she had a great time. Both of them did! I wasn't sure how much Mom would embrace my daughter's new Waldorf elementary school. As a former elementary school teacher, I didn't think she would but she's been really supportive. It was their big May day celebration and they had a large Maypole. I hadn't ever seen one before and the older elementary children did a great job! They expertly weaved the ribbons around the pole and then un-wrapped it as well. It was really wonderful to listen to the violins and chorus playing beautifully together while children danced together celebrating spring and life.

Sometimes I wonder if the Waldorf school IS the right place for my daughter, but after yesterday's celebration....I feel empowered that we made right decision.

I like to visit this Waldorf website for information when I am feeling unsure about our decision. I probably need to visit it on a regular basis and just fill my mind with more of the wonderful reasons that I support this school and want my family to as well. Now all I need to do is convince my Dad...
