✨🌲The Susquehanna Waldorf School ❄️Winter Faire ❄️

✨🌲The Susquehanna Waldorf School ❄️Winter Faire ❄️ returns for another season of magic and wonder on Sunday, Dec. 7 from 11 AM to 3 PM.

At SWS, one of our most cherished traditions is the magical transformation of our school into a seasonal wonderland, lovingly created by parents, faculty, and staff each year. Our Faire not only raises essential funds to support our school, but also brings together our community in joyful celebration. 💚

We are thrilled to once again host our Faire alongside the Marietta Restoration Associates Candlelight Tour🕯️, showcasing the beautiful, historic homes of our beloved Marietta. It’s truly a magical day!

Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who helped transform our school into a stunning winter wonderland. Thank you to SWS parent Amanda Lahr for your beautiful window designs. And a very special thank you to Winterfarm Christmas Tree Farm 🌲 for their continued generosity in donating all of the trees and greenery that make Winter Faire so stunning.

✨We can’t wait to celebrate with you!✨

✨Old man winter is on his way, bringing shorter days, blustery winds, and snowy flurries along with him. ❄️

As we step into the winter months here at SWS, we pause and take a moment to savor the slowness of this season, the magic that seems to fill the air. The lights soften and cast a warm glow. 🕯️The smell of soul fills our halls. 🥣Mittens and warm winter coats are hung in the cubbies.🧤 There is a stillness, a call to soften and slow. A reminder to carry the light within as we step into darker days.

We wish you warmth and light as we step into the winter months, and remind you to hold tight to the magic this season brings. ✨🌲
