2023/2024 Special Annual Appeal
Roots & Resilience
The Susquehanna Waldorf School introduces the “Roots and Resilience” special appeal, a critical initiative born out of the challenges faced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, including significant student loss and financial deficits. The campaign’s primary goal is to raise $100,000 for the 2023-2024 academic year, focusing on restoring enrollment and supporting essential administrative positions. With community support, the school aims to establish an “abundant” Susquehanna Waldorf School, ensuring a sustainable and thriving future for Waldorf education in the community. Contributions from individuals and organizations are sought to help secure this vision and continue nurturing the minds and spirits of future generations of Waldorf students, overcoming the pandemic’s impact and building a resilient legacy.
