CSWS parent and auction volunteer Chelsea Fredlund (with a very joyful Asher) is getting excited for the Big Night! Have you gotten your tickets yet?

Our annual auction, Art Unveiled: Red Carpet Gala, is coming up on March 23, and the one thing we absolutely need in order to make it unforgettable and successful is
YOU
. The auction is a fantastic evening of dinner, dancing, and dynamic bidding on fabulous vacation trips, original fine art, dinner parties, classes and more. It's also our most important fundraiser of the year. The money we raise at the event is critical to providing the unique,
holistic curriculum your children receive
each day at the hands of our talented teachers. It also helps make possible our tuition assistance program, which ensures that this very special education is within the reach of a diverse group of children. What could be better than knowing you were a part of making that happen? Why not buy your
tickets
today?
Don't forget, too, that your bidding dollars go much further when you are the proud bearer of a Golden Paddle!
Golden Paddle raffle tickets are just $25
each this year (why not buy a pair?) and garner you an extra $500 of spending power during the live auction, a leg up that can help you nudge out the competition and take home that item of your dreams!
Complimentary and reduced-price tickets are also available
for a number of event volunteer positions, and many helping hands are still needed to ensure our event's success. Besides being a terrific way to have fun with your fellow Waldorf parents, helping with our auction is also an easy way to meet your monthly volunteer commitment requirements. You can find your perfect volunteer job here:
How Can I Help?
The event will be held from 5:30 un
til 10 p.m. on Saturday, March 23 and has a new venue this year: the Cameron Park Community Center, 2502 Country Club Dr. I look forward to seeing you there!
Have a lovely weekend.
In spirited community,
Nicole Deutsch
Director of Community Development

CSWS Positions Available
Our school is much in need of an early childhood extended care assistant. We are seeking a warm, responsible individual to help supervise this program. Experience with young children and knowledge of Waldorf pedagogy is preferred, but not required. The extended care position hours are Monday through Friday, 12 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. To meet state licensing requirements, applicants must have 12 ECE units, and be willing to comply with current CPR and First Aid training, clear a Livescan background check, a TB test, and a health screening and comply with current California vaccination requirements. Please send inquiries to: Veronica Gunasekara at
[email protected]
The College of Teachers is seeking individuals who can act as substitute teachers. With our pedagogical chair position now vacant, we no longer have a go-to for when our teachers are ill or need to be away for the day for personal or family needs. With the cold and flu season approaching, the College would like to begin compiling a list of people, especially those with a teaching credential or experience working with children, who can support our faculty in this way. Please contact Amy Roehl at
[email protected]
if you can help with this.
