A funny thing happened to Liam over the last three weeks. One day he was in summer camp…
…petting the lion cub…
…playing with Galapagos tortoises…
…and then, the next week, he was at Work Day at his school, helping set up the classroom and picking out a desk…
…and finally came the first day of school, during which each new 1st-Grade child was introduced the the school community and welcomed into the grade school with a bouquet of wildflowers presented by our 7th Grade Lead Class. This is the Waldorf School Flower Ceremony, which is performed the first day of each school year at each Waldorf school around the world. The wildflowers were grown over the summer in our school garden by the Lead Class, and they are used for this ceremony because they symbolise the unbridled spirit of young children. It was a beautiful day, perfect for celebrating a beautiful group of children.
Welcome to Grade School, Liam. May the years ahead hold many adventures, big and small. We love you and sre so proud of you.
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, and Kieran
Wow, what a turn of event! I hope Liam has a great school year. That class picture is awesome.
