Today is the Merriconeag Waldorf School Fall Fair. My 15 year old son performed with his classmates in a drumming exhibition. My 13 year old son and his classmates played their recorder flutes. Artisans and craftspeople sell dry goods and food and the proceeds help tuition assistance for those students needing financial support. This school is located on Desert Road in freeport and is for students attending Early childhood through 10th grade school. Rudolph Steiner founded this education philosophy in Europe nearly 100 years ago. The education involves the head, heart, and hands; not to be confused with Montessori schools. Waldorf Schools here in the states are sprouting up all over the country and I've heard that it is one of the fastest growing private days schools in the US.
