Support Our School

Volunteering

Part of what sets the WSSS community apart is our parent involvement. From event support to community workdays to leading an after school club, there are many ways to lend your energy and expertise to the vitality of our school!

Please let us know the ways you'd most like to help.


Giving

Annual Fund

Our beloved Waldorf School begins the 2023-2024 school year in a different, yet exciting new way! This year a focus on Early Childhood through 8th Grade allows us to expand our core education curriculum, and apply additional resources to art, music and movement programs. These important programs enrich school life by providing new learning opportunities for our students, both academically and socially.

As we strive to meet the needs of the present, it is equally imperative that we take action to ensure our school’s long-term sustainability and success. Community support, in combination with the work of our talented educators and administrative team, creates and nurtures the vitality and inspirational spaces that are central to our school’s history and vision. 

Today, you can help protect this most valuable resource by donating to this year’s Annual Fund. The funds raised through this effort directly support every area of our school’s operations, including teacher salaries and development, building maintenance, the Within Reach tuition assistance program, and cherished out-of-classroom experiences and field trips.

Without parent and community support, our wonderful Waldorf School would not be possible. Tuition only covers 68% of our operating budget. This year our goal is to raise $85,000 to fill the gap left by tuition.

Our school is a cherished part of each one of our daily lives. It is my unwavering belief that Waldorf education will continue to play an integral part of our families’ future for generations to come.

Please consider a gift to the Annual Fund to ensure the accessibility of Waldorf education in our community.
