We directed donations from parents and students in our school community to Motueka and the school has added this donation to its building fund. We recently heard from Peter Garlick, Manager at MRSS, thanking us for the contribution. Here is an excerpt from the letter: “Thank you Monadnock Waldorf School for your very kind and generous donation…I have asked our gardeners to plant a tree for MWS. We will tend these seedlings until we can plant a Supporters Forest at our new campus… I hope families from your school will one day get to visit our new school and see your special tree. www.motueka.steiner.school.nz” February 15 Model UN at High Mowing School February 19 Boarding meeting, 6:00 pm Week of February 23 No school—winter vacation Hannaford Gift Card Program – Community Update With the support of the school community, the Parent Council has raised almost $600 this school year through the Hannaford Gift Card Program!

Martha Temple for the Seventh Grade Eighth Grade Coffee Fundraiser The Eighth Grade has developed a new fundraiser: working with Dean’s Beans Coffee Company to provide high quality organic, fair trade coffee. The fundraiser supports not only this year’s Eighth Grade trip to Nantucket, but also small farmers and small farm cooperatives worldwide. Dean’s Beans is part of a “fully integrated progressive coffee trade system,” which promotes socially just and environmentally responsible trade. Dean’s is a founding member of Cooperative Coffees, Inc., and an active member in the Fair Trade Federation. They roast only organic, shade-grown coffee that contributes to the health of farm communities and the local environment. The Eighth Grade will offer Dean’s Dark or Medium Blend (in whole beans or ground) for $10/pound, or Decaf Dark or Medium (whole or ground) for $11/pound. Dean’s has also agreed to offer, at a special fundraiser price, their single-origin Timor Atsabe, medium roast, for $10.25/pound (whole bean) or $10.50/pound (ground). Also available for this fundraiser: organic hot chocolate mix ($7/8 oz.), chocolate java drops (chocolate-covered, dark roasted coffee beans, $10/pound), and Putumayo’s CD Music from the Coffee Lands ($12). Note: Coffee can be purchased several pounds at a time and stored in the freezer until use. The deadline for our first order is Wednesday, February 19. Coffee will be distributed just after vacation. To order, see an Eighth Grader, or fill out the attached order form and drop it at the Elementary School’s Main Office. Thank you, The Eighth Grade Parent Skills and Interests Survey Monadnock Waldorf School has been lucky enough to have a devoted group of parents and friends working tirelessly on behalf of our students for over 35 years. Parents provide hundreds of volunteer hours supporting class activities, staffing special events, guiding fundraising activities, serving the Parent Council, acting as class parents, participating on committees, contributing to the work of the Board of Trustees, chaperoning class trips, driving for the ski program, caring for our buildings and grounds, introducing new families to our school, and in countless other ways. Sometimes, even an hour of focused expertise can add a lot of value. These volunteer efforts build up our vibrant school community. They show our children a compelling example of what happens when people work together. Volunteer expertise saves the school money, allowing us to direct resources to our students and their educational program. We thank you for all you do! Knowing you better will allow us to make informed matches between the needs of our school and your skills and interests. Would you please complete the form attached to this W eekly Notice and return it to the Elementary School Main Office at your convenience during the month of February (info@monadnockwaldorfschool.org) ? Lisa Mahar Ordering Pizza, Tacos & Soup at the Elementary School Database for MWHS Built by Generous Former Parent Volunteer On a regular basis, the office at Monadnock Waldorf High School enjoys the warmth, good will, and skills of several parent volunteers: Theresa Majoy, Erik Bell, and Caddie Gregory, who volunteer regularly to cover the front desk and carry out office support work. Thank you, dear parents, for your cheerful competence and generous offering of yourselves. Recently, MWHS printed and distributed fall trimester reports from a user-friendly, custom-built database program ably and elegantly constructed by former MWS parent Nathan Lyczak. This phase of the database program was built over a period of several months and specially meets the needs of MWHS’s report style and format. The database is also built to handle enrollment and attendance records, and the next phase of the database Nathan is building will allow HS transcripts to be generated efficiently and accurately. MWHS extends deep gratitude and appreciation to Nathan for the countless hours of work he has so patiently and willingly devoted (and continues to devote), volunteering to carry out this project. Its positive impact on the systems, efficiency, and professionalism of the MWHS office is invaluable. Carol Renzelman, for MWHS faculty, students, and parents If your child will be late arriving at school, please be sure to call the Elementary School Main Office by 8:00 am if you are ordering pizza, tacos, or soup. The orders are collected and put together first thing in the morning, so it’s important to order by 8:00 am. Orders after 8:00 am cannot always be accommodated.

(pr esented by Kar l Schur man, who wor ked over thir ty year s in the film business in New York and around the world, and who is now teaches at Monadnock Waldorf High School.) (A ppropriate for 9th grade-adult.) Middle School Fundraising As many are aware, last spring the faculty proposed a new approach to fundraising for eighth grade class trips. The goal was to add a cooperative element to fundraising, with sixth and seventh graders having the experience of raising money to support their schoolmates in eighth grade. Going forward, it was imagined that each year the eighth grade trip would be funded by the efforts of all three middle school classes. Along with this new, cooperative approach, the faculty recommended guidelines for the cost of eighth grade class trips, and discussed the kind of fundraising in which students should be involved. Last summer, when Julia Kerr, Tim Price and I met to plan for the school year, we had a number of questions to bring back to our colleagues. We were supportive of this new cooperative gesture, and needed to clarify details related to pooling our resources. While all three classes have been actively fundraising this fall, the faculty has taken up these questions, considering ways to refine the fundraising model that meets the needs of students, parents, and teachers. A faculty committee of teachers (Kevin McGuigan, Maggie Myers, and myself) was assigned to meet, collect input, and propose a final working policy for the current year. As part of our work, Maggie, Kevin and I asked my fellow middle school teachers to join us in a meeting with parents who have been particularly active in fundraising thus far in the year. We wanted to hear from those most directly affected, in many respects, by a change in policy. Many thanks to the sixth, seventh and eighth grade parents who took time on a Saturday morning in December to meet with us. Their input was invaluable and touched on a wide range of issues that we will be taking back to College of Teachers and Faculty meetings. I am pleased to say that all parents and teachers present at our December meeting were supportive of the revisions that Kevin, Maggie and I have proposed for this year: in keeping with the cooperative gesture adopted last spring, the sixth and seventh grades will each pledge a generous amount toward the cost of the eighth grade class trip, totaling as much as $4,000. Funds raised by sixth and seventh grade classes above and beyond the pledged amount will be kept by each grade, respectively, to be used toward their own trips. There was a general sense that this modification represents the best of both approaches, allowing students to experience both the satisfaction of a generous gift and the excitement of working towards one’s own trip. It goes without saying that the faculty will be returning to this policy at the end of the year to see whether it has proved to be a positive change. Middle School parents can expect further information directly from their child’s class teacher about fundraising goals and ways to support our collective and individual efforts. Kevin, Maggie and I are also happy to field questions about the process and the modifications adopted for this school year. We welcome your input. Alison Henry Community Kitchen The Keene Community Kitchen continues to serve meals and make food boxes available to those in need in our community. Your contributions make the Kitchen able to fulfill its mission. We recently delivered five shopping bags full of nonperishable food and personal care items. Thank you! Now is a great time to help the Community Kitchen with a specific need: the need for personal care items. The Kitchen can use soap, deodorant, toothpaste, tooth brushes, shampoo, shaving cream, body lotion, combs, brushes, etc. Please drop these items in the collection box inside the front door at the elementary school or at the front desk at nursery-kindergarten or high school. Food items continue to be welcome. And thanks to all for supporting our neighbors in need! Lisa Mahar Page 4 High School News This Week at the High School Eleventh Grade: The Rise of the West, MWHS 2014: Ar ound 1500, what we call “the West” began to diverge radically from the rest of the world, which it eventually grew to dominate politically and economically. Even if some of that power has waned in the 21st century, the western mindset still dominates the cultural tone of the modern era. This is our culture—we are products of its worldview and totally immersed in its way of thinking. By examining how “the West” came about, can students begin to better understand themselves? Continuing where their Medieval History morning lesson left off, the 11th grade will broadly survey the development of the West from the 14th c. Black Plague to the 19th c. Industrial Revolution. They will step back in order to perceive the bigger themes running through specific events and individuals. We follow four main threads—Philosophy & Individuality, Science & Exploration, the Arts, Nation & the Common Man—through overlapping periods of the Reformation, Renaissance, Age of Exploration and Enlightenment. Through many readings from original texts, the students will consider questions the West posed in its rise to prominence: W here do I stand? W ho is my neighbor? W hat is a nation? How can we make sense out of the world? What is progress? To better grasp at the outset what we might mean by “the West,” the block begins with a case study of the late 20th c. rapid westernization of Ladakh, a remote region of Himalayan India. For final projects, students create an artistic presentation of one of the many extraordinary individuals they will encounter (from Henry V & Joan of Arc to Mary Wollstonecraft & William Blake) during the course of this nearly 500 years of history that led to the modern world.
