Lake Champlain Waldorf School's State of the School Report 2017 - Video Version

We are excited to present this State of the School video report, which highlights the key points presented at the State of the School meeting on January 26th and 28th 2017. Over 60 family members attended, along with faculty and staff, to discuss how our beloved Lake Champlain Waldorf School is growing and reaching to serve children and families across our region--reaching as far as China! Together, we share the goal of supporting our students to be well-rounded humans ready to take on the challenges in their lives and our times with perspective, diligence, and love in their hearts. It is fitting that we pause today and reflect on our progress.

In this report, Board President Lauren-Glenn Davitian, Board President and Steve Willoughby, Chair of Buildings and Grounds Committee review the highlights of that meeting.
