Spring River is a community that celebrates the cycles of the year through a rich and diverse festival life. 

 

Festivals help to create the radiant school that Rudolf Steiner spoke of over 100 years ago. Throughout the year, Waldorf Schools celebrate festivals to connect us with the cycles of nature, establish a yearly rhythm for the children, and strengthen the school and greater community. Festivals help us to nourish our inner spirit through the sharing of stories, food, songs and activities linked to the seasons, all expressed with beauty and reverence.  Most of our festivals include fun activities for all ages, along with delicious potluck food.

 

In addition to the community-wide festivals listed here, teachers may celebrate other festivals in the classroom. We honor diverse cultures and religious traditions through music, circle songs, activities, and crafts.  As parents, we are nourished through the sharing of stories, food and song.
