Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
At holiday times we draw upon celebrations associated with ancient agricultural festivals, the turning of the seasons, and an acknowledgment of the mystery and beauty of the universe and the interconnectedness of all life within it. Our main festivals include a Harvest Festival in the fall, an Evergreen Spiral ceremony in winter, and spring and May Day celebrations.

Students participate in regular physical education and meet with other Northern California Waldorf schools in age-appropriate athletic competitions: a Greek Games, a Medieval Games, and track meets.
