The Michaelmas festival, celebrated by Waldorf schools around the world, honors St. Michael, the mythical Dragon-slayer astride a white steed, who bears an iron sword flashing like a meteor. Michael’s legend symbolizes the autumnal resurgence of human strength, willpower and striving to overcome our inner Dragons — laziness, greed, doubt, fear of the future — who may have crept over us unnoticed during summer’s dreamy warmth and forgetfulness. This year our school is celebrating Michaelmas on Wednesday, October 3 with a wonderful play featuring the grade school students and community service projects around our campus.
Families are welcome to join for the play at 10:30 am.
