“Our highest endeavor must be to develop free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives. The need for imagination, a sense of truth, and a feeling of responsibility – these three forces are the very nerve of education.”
Join us for a memorable evening of art, food, and fun as we come together to celebrate the power of poetry and the creative spirit of our school community.
Event Highlights:
Poetry Readings: Experience original poetry written and performed by 10th-grade students in a transformed Eurythmy Hall. The evening will showcase their hard work and creativity—be prepared to be inspired!
Dinner Fundraiser: After the readings, we’ll move to Meadows Hall to indulge in a delicious meal prepared by the talented 12th-grade students. This dinner will support their class and is available by advance purchase only—so make sure you order ahead!
Open Mic Night: The spotlight is on YOU! We’re opening the stage to students from grades 7-12, encouraging anyone with a poem, song, or performance to share. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or trying it for the first time, come celebrate your voice!
Note: This event is designed for students and their parents in grades 7-12 only and is not suitable for younger children and siblings.
It’s going to be an unforgettable night—come for the poetry, stay for the food, and leave with inspiration!

It’s finally starting to feel like autumn here in Southern California! The light has shifted, and there’s a refreshing briskness in the air.
It’s such a joy to witness the rhythm of the seasons, especially for our little ones. Our second graders had a blast gathering fall leaves and created a big, boundable pile! Seeing their excitement as they connect with nature is a reminder of the simple joys of this season. Here’s to more autumn adventures ahead!
Our sixth grade geology block went out with a “bang” as students debuted their long-awaited volcano projects modeled after famous volcanoes around the world, from Mauna Lea in Hawaii to Krakatoa in Indonesia. Our students spend weeks constructing each volcano, along with conducting multiple experimentations to showcase lava eruptions. Surrounded by their classmates and community, our students gave a brief talk about their chosen volcano, its characteristics and how it was formed, and then demonstrated the most exciting part–the “lava” flow.
Developmentally, the geology block and volcano experiment is an apt metaphor for the middle school student. Waldorf Education founder Rudolf Steiner noted that it is not until the age of 12 that a child can grasp causality or cause and effect; this ability opens up a new way to approach subject matter. In geology, for example, the sixth graders not only sharpen their observations of the world around them, but also study how the movement of the earth changes the landscape and its inhabitants, and how our actions in the present will shape the world in the future.
Discover the Magic of Waldorf Education!
