Charlottesville Waldorf Community,

We are LOOKING forward to SEEING Spring in a few weeks!

Nothing spells "stalled" more than unprecedented mounds of snow, accessorized with mud all over our work-site.  What a SIGHT!  In all due time, however, we'll be up and running, and in the meantime, we've got our sights set on the winner of our most recent raffle gift.  Brent and Theresa Hambleton, parents of Noah in Grade 2, won the free EYE exam with 30% off frames.  Thanks to the Hambletons, for their giving!

Did You Know...  SUSTAIN, Inc. (an eco-friendly boutique specializing in environmentally-friendly, cool women's and men's apparel, accessories, jewelry, house wares, furnishings and gifts) is donating 2% of all sales to go to CWF/CWS building project until April 7, 2010.  Swing by the store to see the display table dedicated to the school, with student work and school literature.  SUSTAIN is located at 406 West Main Street in the Main Street Market.  Please shop at SUSTAIN and send your friends to shop there too!

Did You Know...  Under the former apartheid regime in South Africa, the Waldorf school was one of the few schools in which children of both races attended the same classes, despite the ensuing loss of state aid.  A Waldorf training college in Cape Town, the Novalis Institute, was described by UNESCO as an organization which had a great consequence in the conquest of apartheid: "It has prepared the way and laid the foundations for a new and integrated [community]."
