Waldorf School Students planted six paper birch trees in honour of their completion of grade six and they planted three tamarack trees in honour of our School’s 25th year anniversary as a symbol of “head, heart, and hands.” This is a kind of motto or guideline for the way we teach in our school. The planting of trees also tied in with a part of their grade six curriculum, the study of trees.
–Dinah Clark, Administrator of Calgary Waldorf School
I ordered some soil for the Calgary Waldorf school, which was effeciently delivered and thoughtfully placed and has been spread around a new forest of native trees planted by grade six at the school.
Our school has made a commitment to plant only native area plants and students are often out in the grounds for various curriculum subjects such as botany (grade 5) and trees (grade 6) and we have all-school participation in looking after our grounds.
Good soil is key to this up here in Cougar Ridge.
