Calendar of the Soul
Thirty-fourth Week My power of thought grows firm
United with the spirit's birth.
It lifts the senses' dull attractions
To bright-lit clarity.
When soul-abundance
Desires union with the world's becoming,
Must senses' revelation
Receive the light of thinking.
THANK YOU to our gingerbread bakers and servers and sellers, our winter crafters, our Cookie Kingdom forest elf and bakers, our amazing musician, our storyteller, our apple cider pourers, our obstacle course captain, our pocket person, our fairy shoppe owners, our candle dippers, our staff, our faculty, our OWS families and our students. Thank you for making Winter Faire such a delight this year!
*Fun little fact: one of the original parents from the founding days of OWS was helping at Winter Faire! Kathy Carras Miles helped with winter crafting and candle dipping. Kathy even cleaned 30 lbs of unfiltered wax before the event. Candle dipping was an activity she helped establish at Winter Faire some 36+ years ago! Thank you for your help!
Want a Tree? We have a number of beautiful trees to share! We'd love to clear out our Cookie Kingdom forest over the weekend. If interested, please contact Ali: development@olympiawaldorf.org Thank you to Schilter Family Farm for contributing to our forest this year.
It is almost over!

From the words of our 8th grade class:
"If you like pastries, I have good news for you! The 8th grade is holding a bake sale! Buy 10, buy a dozen, buy a whole box because every single penny you spend helps us raise enough money to go on our 8th grade trip to Chile. Purchase our goods, support a good cause." Friday, December 17th at pick up
Cedar Rounds Available - Can you bring them to OWS?
During a recent storm, a tree fell on a house at 924 Eskridge SE (near Vic's Pizza, Oly Coffee, and Spuds). The Cedar was cut into rounds and the owners want people to take the wood. The wood has been available for a couple weeks already and may disappear soon. If you are able to load some in your vehicle (two people needed for lifting) & bring them to the school, we can make good use of them. You may want some for your yard too...tree rounds are fabulous for climbing & story-telling & resting! Please email Ali: development@olympiawaldorfschool.org
Community
Ready to help make business more equitable? One powerful way is to invest in small and black owned businesses. And local is even better for a lesser carbon footprint. For those of you who are already supporting, if you or someone you know is a black business owner, you might find the directories to be a great marketing opportunity. Check them out:
Our Local Yarn Shop (OLYS) is a warm and inviting retail shop where knitters, crocheters and others who enjoy handwork can find supplies, community and support. Give Back is a simple way for you to help support the Olympia Waldorf School, at no additional cost to you.
Experience feel-good shopping and when you make a purchase at OLYS you not only support a local small business but we'll donate 1% of your purchase price from eligible purchases to OWS. No added cost to you, offer excludes books and classes. When you come into the shop, or shop via phone, fill out our handy form and we take care of the rest. Let's see what we can do together!
