Michaelmas Festival

On the Autumnal Equinox, the day in which hours of darkness are in balance with hours of light, Michaelmas Day celebrates Archangel Michael's (My-kai-el) deed of banishing the dragon from the heavens and onto the earth.


Here on Earth this deed is now our own. We each must tame the dragon within our own being. We each must work to uncover and to live our purpose, banishing all from our being that keeps us from fulfilling this task.


As our school celebrated the spirit of Michaelmas through joy and song, our spirit of community strengthened our will and resolve, to be the change we wish to see in our lives, in our community and in our world.









Music class has been much different this year as it has diverged from classical to modern. You'll notice Elijah has his dad's beat to music...love it!








Anyone remember this dress? The last time you saw Lotus she was wearing this at Loren and Matt's wedding. We loaned this out to our little friend Opal. Is she not adorable?






Lotus has really been into rainbows and watercolor. Here are several paintings from this week. The first has a rainbow over a flower.
