Welcome Back, Mountain Phoenix!

Each year, we gather for the Rose Ceremony, a beloved Waldorf tradition marking the journey into the grades. Our Grade 8 welcome our new Grade 1, offering each child a rose.

The rose holds beautiful symbolism. Its soft petals represent the wonder and beauty along the way, while its thorns remind us that growth also comes with challenges. Together, they represent the fullness of the journey ahead. The beauty and the challenge. The softness and the strength. The beginning and the becoming.

Welcome back, MPCS. Here’s to another beautiful year together.

We’ll be going quiet over here until the school year begins again, and we encourage you to do the same. Go outside. Touch grass. Climb the trail. Sit by the creek.

We'll see you in August and we can't wait to hear your tales.

We wish for you playdates in the park with your friends.

Friendly reminder that many of your kids know how to knit.

Toss some yarn and needles in a basket and help facilitate self-inspired knitting opportunities this summer. On road trips, hammocks or lazy mornings on the couch. Let their minds wander while their focus stays on creation.

Childhood is not something to rush through. Children need time and space to unfold in their own time and in their own wa...

Childhood is not something to rush through. Children need time and space to unfold in their own time and in their own way.

Summer is a beautiful reminder of this. Slow down. Wander. Read books.
