Welcome to the new Messenger!
We are moving the Weekly Announcements and Messenger to a digital format so it is easier to stay up to date with the school. 

You will still receive your Weekly Announcements and monthly newsletter straight to your inbox with a digest of what is happening in the Austin Waldorf community. You can also access the latest  News and Announcements live on the school website. 

We are excited about these changes and welcome any feedback or ideas you might have. Share your thoughts at awsannounce@austinwaldorf.org.

Join us as we honor the life of our inspiring teacher, mentor, and friend, Bill Toole. A memorial service will be held on Sunday, April 9th at 3pm in the Austin Waldorf School gym. 

We have set up a page on our website to celebrate Bill.
