You Are Invited: Ashwood Waldorf School Budget, Tuition, and Tuition Assistance Informational Meeting
Happy New Year to all! I hope that your holiday was merry and peaceful and has left you refreshed for facing the cold days of winter. Daylight has already increased by approximately 10 minutes since the winter solstice, and it is indisputable that an increase in daylight is on the horizon for months to come.
Ashwood's Board of Trustees invites you to attend a meeting on January 25, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the community room of the grade school building. There will be a presentation on Ashwood's budget, how tuition is set, Ashwood's development goals, and how the tuition-assistance program at Ashwood works. We encourage all families to attend.

Visitors to the grade school have the opportunity to observe main lessons in three different classrooms; visitors to EC observe creative playtime.
This is a wonderful opportunity to share your excitement about Ashwood with family and friends: Waldorf education in action speaks volumes!
