We are all very excited about some seeds donated to our school garden by the San Diego Seed Company. We were overwhelmed with their generosity when we opened the mailer stuffed to the gills with nearly 100 packets of seeds-- vegetables, herbs, flowers, medicinal plants --and most of them suitable for the cool season, which we are now entering. WSSD strives to connect with local partners like San Diego Seed Company who understand our unique SoCal climate and ecosystem because they live here too. Look for their seeds in area nurseries, or find them online at https://sandiegoseedcompany.com

PARENT AND CAREGIVER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM presents

Waldorf Education and the Importance of Attention - Curriculum, Media, and How Parents Can Support Student Thriving

Wednesday, Oct 7th
8:30 am
Altadena Music Room

Our first Parent/Caregiver Enrichment Program (PEP) will take place on Wednesday, October 7th, 8:30-10:00 in the Music Room, presented by our Pedagogical Director, Daniel Hindes.

Learn how Waldorf education develops and works with attention as the key tool for developing human skills and knowledge. We will look at both what the curriculum is aiming for at each level, and how teachers use attention to further learning. Understanding the relationship of attention and curriculum can also illuminate how media use can support or detract from what is happening at school every day. Bring your questions and experiences!

Visitors, please be sure to check-in at the front office.

What a wonderful first couple days of school! It was so good to see our campus come alive again with the energy of returning students and families. Our students seem to have grown taller overnight, and we spotted plenty of new haircuts, hairstyles, and summer transformations!

As usual, our beloved Rose Ceremony, brought many emotions as high school seniors welcomed their rising first grade buddy to the school year with a single rose - signifying the love, commitment and journey ahead.

There are new classrooms, new teachers, and new beginnings to discover, along with the familiar joy of reconnecting with friends we’ve missed throughout the summer. And already, we’re seeing thoughtful, productive, and wonderfully creative work taking shape in classrooms across campus.

Here’s to a beautiful year of learning, growing, creating, and being together. Welcome back, WSSD! 🌿✨

🚀✈️ Take Flight Camp soared to new heights!

During this week's WSSD Summer Camp, students explored the science and creativity of all things that fly with Mr. Johnson, Ms. McGrady and Mr. Ian. From paper airplanes and stomp rockets to balsa wood planes, campers discovered how air movement and design influence flight through hands-on projects and experiments.

The week included a flight path obstacle course, a visit from a pilot guest speaker, and the creation of miniature runways and landing strips for their aircraft. On the final day, campers invited family and staff to watch as they showcased—and launched—their favorite flying creations before each proudly earned their wings to wear on their shirts or hats.

Here's to a week filled with imagination, engineering, and taking learning to new heights! ✈️🌤️

During the first week of WSSD Summer Camp, our Herbal Camp with teacher Nazdira immersed students in the fascinating world of herbs. 🌿☀️
Each day, campers explored a different herb, learned about its traditional uses and benefits, and created simple herbal remedies—including infused honey, oxymels, herbal oils, and other nature-inspired creations—to bring home and share with their families.
Alongside herbal exploration, students enjoyed storytelling, nature play, crafting, and a gentle daily rhythm that nurtured curiosity, creativity, and a connection to the natural world.
One of the joys of WSSD Summer Camp is the opportunity to broaden students’ learning beyond the school year. During this herbal week, campers were introduced to local and California herbal traditions that may not have be explored during the regular curriculum. Where these teachings overlapped with Waldorf gardening and nature studies, they reinforced students’ understanding by highlighting shared knowledge across different traditions and perspectives. Of course, the different iced teas were the biggest hits on the hot summer afternoons. 🌼🍃

With summer break in full swing, our faculty and staff have been reflecting on the magic that makes our community so special. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be sharing their thoughts in a new series, Only at a Waldorf School…
