Are you wondering what Parent Circle is? Parent Circle plays a vital role in planning annual events that benefit the school with the cooperation of the faculty and staff. Parent Circle is open to all parents, grandparents, and guardians of our students. Meetings are held monthly to plan events, and to get to know new members of our community. Everyone is welcome!
Events such as the Back to School Picnic, COS Spaghetti Dinner and Coffee on the Grounds are community gatherings, while other events allow us to celebrate seasonal festivals that are a reflection of our unique Waldorf school. Celebrations of seasonal festivals help remind us of the “circle of seasons” throughout the year and also foster a sense of community.
