conversations with a
Kenyan Waldorf Teacher
Philisia Shake, the current fifth grade teacher at the Rudolf Steiner School Mbagathi, visited our school for several days during April. She was hosted by Meg Gorman who met Philisia a year ago in Kenya during a around-the-world trip to Waldorf schools. Philisia is a lively, engaging woman who brought East African stories and experiences to our students and also to parents during an evening presentation. She told the children a true story about the time last summer when a lion entered the school compound and fatally attacked one of the school’s cows. She also shared insights into the current Kenyan political situation with high school students, and in one class she found herself explaining circumcision rites in her Taita tribe.
Philisia embodies a unique combination of traditional African ways, the modern African spirit, and Waldorf education. Her visit was a delightful inspiration for everyone.
Philisia ready take donated school supplies
back to Kenya.
thank you to everyone who made this year's spring benefit such a success !!
Congratulations to all our incredible parent volunteers who once again put together a beautiful event for this year’s Spring Benefit. Our event successfully funded several outlined needs from projector systems for high school classrooms to encyclopedias for grade school classrooms to the tune of almost $34,000. In addition, with the help of the online auction this past week, we exceeded our goal of $60,000 for the operating budget. See the March 19 Weekly Announcements for volunteer thanks and photos.
