from Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm
For the last eight years, the Waldorf Wall Calendar has reached an enthusiastic audience with the families and communities of Waldorf schools throughout North America and even made its way to Europe and beyond.
It has been so popular that Summerfield Waldorf School & Farm are delighted to offer it once it again!
Sample pages can be seen here in low-resolution PDF form: Front and Back Cover Pages | Monthly Pages | Intro Pages
Here is an excerpt from the introduction: “Waldorf schools emphasize the importance of teaching in an artistic way to feed the imagination, to deepen empathy, and to develop freedom in thinking.
We see that the practice of artistic work awakens our intelligence to the full experience of being human and is an essential way of being in the present moment, poised between past and future. New spaces can be developed through artistic experiences. New perceptions and new imagination can enter and develop in these spaces. The arts are asking us to stay open to the process, stay open to the moment in which the essence of something new reveals itself. The child learns to gently find what is important, what is essential, to develop trust in the new and trust in the unknown.
This activity and reaction in the soul is the foundational heart of our education.
The Arts Calendar reminds us all of why we come to Waldorf Schools and what the interconnected and planned evolutionary span of the education from early childhood to twelfth grade means to our development as human beings.”
If you ever needed a concise illustration of what is so special about a Waldorf education, here it is! These are the 'pictures worth a thousand words' to show to curious grandparents, or to explain your child's school to baffled work colleagues—a gorgeous 15-month calendar that will adorn the wall of any kitchen, home office or workspace. Or if you just appreciate beautiful art, this calendar delivers intriguing surprises with each monthly cycle. Even those families that are wedded to their digital device for scheduling, need beauty in their lives: this publication is like a personal Waldorf art gallery that changes every month.
Calendars are $18 each, and $15 each for orders of 10 or more. Order online: summerfieldwaldorf.org/2023-24-waldorf-wall-calendar-offer/] A Chance to Help Your School!
Recognizing that Waldorf schools around the country may still be unable to host Winter Faire’s and other events where these Calendars have sold as fundraisers in years past, Summerfield is offering a new way to support your school. When you order, include the name of your school or Waldorf organization in the Note Field, and Summerfield will credit that school with funds at the end of the sales period. If you are a school and send out this promotion with a Code for your parents to use, Summerfield will tally the number of times that Code appears in their orders, and send $4/copy to the school if 10 or more are sold; $5/copy for 25+; and $6/copy for 40+. And if you want to order in bulk to distribute yourself through your school, email Adam at [email protected] and tell him you saw it on Waldorf Today. For orders of 40 or more copies, he will give you a great wholesale price on your bulk order. The introduction pages, "Art and the Curriculum", are a fantastic resource to learn more about the arts throughout the years in a Waldorf school. A great gift for prospective parents as well, if you're in enrollment and outreach. Questions: please email Adam at [email protected]
