May in Southwest Wisconsin got off to a chilly and rainy start, but that did not take away from the joyous May Day celebration we held on Friday, May 2nd! Bringing the school community together to welcome the warmer days ahead and honor the beauty of nature’s renewal, the event is a beloved annual tradition for students, staff, and parents alike. Worldwide, Waldorf schools have been celebrating May Day since 1919. Students and teachers adorned with flower crowns sang their way to the playground to meet family and friends ’round the Maypole where they performed dances, weaving ribbons in intricate patterns.
