This year’s May Day and Grandparents and Loved O

This year’s May Day and Grandparents and Loved Ones Day celebrations were a beautiful reminder of what makes SWS so special: community, tradition, and our deep connection to the natural world. 🌸🌷

From joyful songs and vibrant dances around the Maypole to heartfelt moments shared with cherished loved ones, the day was filled with warmth, wonder, and the spirit of renewal. These seasonal celebrations help root our students in rhythm and meaning, offering a sense of belonging and continuity across generations.

Thank you to all of our students, staff, and families who helped make this beloved tradition come alive. It’s always a joy to gather in celebration—and May Day holds a truly special place in our hearts. 💚

What’s your favorite part of May Day and Grandparents and Loved Ones Day?

Our 6th graders took their learning to new heights

Our 6th graders took their learning to new heights—with a journey to New York City! 🍎

Waldorf education emphasizes experiential learning and class trips offer students an immersive and exciting opportunity to do just that! ⭐️

During their time in the city, students visited world-class museums, attended a live performance of “The Lion King”, and explored some of NYC’s most iconic landmarks. 🗽 Along the way, they built lasting friendships and deepened their sense of independence and curiosity.

A heartfelt thank you to their class teacher, Melissa McIntyre, and the wonderful parent chaperones whose dedication, care, and enthusiasm made this trip both safe and unforgettable. 💚

Welcome home, 6th grade—we loved following your adventure! 🚕🗺️📍

When the world is your classroom, the learning never stops! 🪱🌲🌦️

Each day, our kindergarteners set off on joyful adventures to the nearby Susquehanna River—just a short walk from school. There, they explore, observe, and immerse themselves in the wonders of the natural world through hands-on experiences that spark curiosity and bring learning to life.

This is how a lifelong love of learning begins. 💚

Our second graders took the stage with their performance of Jumping Mouse 🐭 and we are so proud!

🎭Class plays are a special tradition in Waldorf education and offer students to combine curriculum, art, and social-emotional skills. In producing and performing their plays, students challenge themselves, call upon their courage, and build confidence as they share their hard work with classmates and families.

Bravo grade 2! ⭐️👏🏾

As the school year winds down and summer approache

As the school year winds down and summer approaches, many parents begin seeking ways to keep their children engaged, joyful, and connected during the break. At Susquehanna Waldorf School, we believe that summer is not just a pause in education; it’s an opportunity for meaningful, developmentally appropriate enrichment that nourishes the whole child. 🌻🌈

Waldorf-inspired summer activities offer children a slower, more intentional rhythm of life, rooted in creativity, connection to nature, and hands-on exploration. In this post, we’ll share ideas for Waldorf-aligned summer fun and explain how these experiences support your child’s growth in ways that are joyful, screen-free, and deeply enriching.

Read the latest post in our blog, The Heartbeat, to learn how to bring Waldorf home this summer and enjoy Waldorf-inspired activities all summer long. ☀️
