Updates in Enrollment

Please join me in welcoming Maleelah Acker and Zion Jones-Rothblatt, both new students in Miss Samantha’s and Miss Holly’s nursery class!

A big thank you to Cynthia Mwenja and Magic City Ballet for sharing their booth with us at the Whistlestop Festival in Irondale last weekend. Despite the soggy weather, Susan Mwenja and Jennifer Cripps were a big hit, with Susan greeting festival participants from way up high on her stilts!

Please join us on Sunday, October 11th for the annual Break ‘n Bread event at Pepper Place. Ms. Spencer, Ms. Carole and I will be there to talk to prospective parents and/or potential sponsors of AWS, and to share in the celebration of local food and community. To purchase tickets to this popular event that features food from over 30 area restaurants, as well live performances, and beer and wine tastings, visit www.birminghamoriginals.org.

Coming up on Saturday, October 31st, AWS will be sponsoring a booth at Art in Avondale Park, so please come by and see us! Volunteers to help represent the school at the booth would be greatly appreciated! Stop by the office if you are interested in donating even an hour of your time on that day.

The weekend of November 7th, Ms. Grupe and Mr. Huck will be staffing a table at Birmingham Parent Magazine’s annual Education Expo. Held at the Brookwood Mall, we will be among over 100 private schools promoting their programs. In addition, the AWS Middle Schoolers will be showcasing their talents, with a special performance by Ms. Gurganus’ Chorus! Our performance will begin at 11:30am, and will be staged near the food court in the mall. Invite your friends and family to visit us at our booth, and to enjoy the student performances.

On the other side of town, we will be leading children in a nature craft at the annual Moss Rock festival, Saturday and Sunday, November 7th and 8th. Stop by and see Ms. Powell and myself, along with Ms. Cripps (who I’m sure won’t be able to resist bringing a couple of fun circus props to share with festival-goers!) as we represent Alabama Waldorf School at the festival that features eco-inspired art, food and activities for the whole family.
