Some moments become memories. Some memories become

Some moments become memories.
Some memories become who we are.

From muddy boots and morning songs to deep questions, lasting friendships, and joyful discoveries, childhood is built one moment at a time.

At Susquehanna Waldorf School, we believe education is more than academics, it’s the cultivation of curiosity, compassion, creativity, and purpose.

❤️ The moments you will remember.
🌱 The foundation you will carry forward.

Thank you to SWS Alum, Sophie Fisher, for making this video.

SWS: where students love to learn! 🌱🌈💚

Our Marigold Stepping Stones class had such fun practicing a German counting game with their little gnome friends - little did they know they were learning a new language! 🍄

In our Early Childhood classrooms, World Language is introduced through games, songs and movement to keep lessons age appropriate and fun!

Gnomes have been spotted in Marietta! 🍄

Recently, our Stepping Stones students were guided by their talking gnome - who helps the little ones with listening and taking turns during sharing time - on a magical journey to meet his gnome family!

Each child discovered a gnome of their very own who will join their family and help facilitate family share time all summer long!☀️🌈

The Dragon Boat Festival came to life at SWS, complete with boat races and drawings to celebrate the traditional Chinese holiday. 🐲🎉

The Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Jie in Mandarin) is held May 5th on the Lunar Calendar and June 19th this year on the Gregorian calendar to honor an ancient patriotic poet named Qu Yuan (340 BC - 278 BC).

Traditionally, the Festival is celebrated with Dragon Boat Races, eating rice dumplings called zongzi, hanging mugwort on the front door, carrying fragrant sachets and drinking Hsiung Huang Wine to seek protection from evil and disease.

A special thank you to our Mandarin teacher Hui-Ling Singer for her expertise and creativity that shapes all of her lessons. 💛
