Our sweet school, nestled in the woods outside of Olympia, is in need of help. We had a cold front hit our area and the pipes from the sprinkler system in the early childhood classrooms broke, causing significant damage to the rooms. The building that once had our littlest hands on campus making bread, sharing puppet plays and singing songs is currently just a cold, stark, shell. The displaced classes are now using our community room and and an 8th grade classroom. Four of our upper grades have had to move in together to make room.

We are hoping to share with our Waldorf community this tragedy and have an ask out to share the campaign as broadly as we can. If we reach $20K by the end of march we have a $20K match! This will get us just a quarter of where we need to be to finish the restoration, but it will be a HUGE lift nonetheless.
We are also in need of Waldorf early childhood toys to replace what we lost in this catastrophe. Specifically, weighted babies, Ostheimer toys or something similar, etc. Folks who are willing to donate can contact me directly (Ali: [email protected])
Thank you so much for sharing this broadly. We need all the help we can get!
