In keeping with the cherished traditions of Lunar

In keeping with the cherished traditions of Lunar New Year 🧧, the SWS community is proud to recognize the longest-standing member of our school family, Mrs. Melissa McIntyre. 🌟🎉

Mrs. McIntyre, our dedicated sixth-grade teacher, has been an integral part of SWS for 22 years. Beyond the classroom, she leads our basketball team and running club with passion and commitment, has served in multiple leadership positions, and is always the first to lend a helping hand at school events. Her dedication, kindness, and leadership make her a true pillar of our community.💚

On behalf of the entire school, we extend our deepest gratitude to Mrs. McIntyre for her countless contributions to our students, staff, and school. SWS is stronger because of her, and we are truly fortunate to have her as part of our school family.👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

Welcome to the Year of the Snake🐍✨

SWS rang in the Lunar New Year with a beautiful cultural showcase at Barnes and Noble in Lancaster. Our community came together to honor this meaningful time of year which ushers in a new era and marks the imminent arrival of Spring 🌷

Guided by SWS’s own Mandarin teacher Hui-Ling Singer, students shared songs, dances, and enjoyed a craft to celebrate the Year of the Snake. The snake, a wood animal, represents growth, flexibility and tolerance, values celebrated and cherished at SWS.

Thank you to our community for joining us to celebrate the Lunar New Year and to everyone who helped make this beloved event so special 🏮🐍✨

Celebrations will continue through the week as we hold our own Lunar New Year assembly on Friday and you can catch us at the LAAPI Lunar New Year Festival Feb. 2 from 11 am - 3 pm at Ewell Plaza and Binns Park.

Imagine walking along the ancient banks of the Nil

Imagine walking along the ancient banks of the Nile River in Egypt. What sights and sounds might surround you? Now, picture standing at the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza, running your fingers along its ancient stones and marveling at the ingenuity of its builders.

Our fifth graders have embarked on their own journey through time, diving into the wonders of Ancient Egypt. They are exploring its mythology, architecture, language, art, and more 🗺️📍

In Waldorf education, history is brought to life through storytelling, not just dates and facts. 💬 This immersive approach sparks curiosity, inspires questions, and opens the door to meaningful exploration.

Through the lens of history, our students cultivate a broader worldview and a deeper understanding of themselves and others—gifts they will carry with them for life 🌍

In Waldorf education, learning geometry goes far beyond numbers and calculations: geometry offers students an entirely new understanding of the world around them.

📚Geometry is a central component of the Waldorf curriculum and is integrated across core subjects. In the lower grades, students work with simple geometric concepts to develop develop spatial awareness while upper grades begin to craft precise geometric constructions 📐 Geometry is brought to life by connection key concepts with both nature and the human form, fostering greater appreciation and understanding of the natural world 🌲🕸️☀️

In sixth-grade, our students have begun their geometry lessons on mathematical drawing and developing proofs for geometric forms. This section of mathematics allows students to deepen their ability for abstract thought and builds the foundations needed for pre-algebra in seventh-grade.

When math is dynamic and engaging lessons transcend the classroom📖
