Celebrating Our Future at May Faire
May Faire was a joyous success! Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate last Saturday, which was the first official day in our own home! We couldn't have been more thrilled to spend such a magical day with our beautiful community celebrating our future. 

We extend a special thank you to the Parent Council, and especially to Cambria Devoy and the Festivals Committee, for organizing May Faire, and to all the parents, teachers, staff, and students who helped create the day!

Mountain Song festivals are a vital part of our Waldorf-inspired education. They integrate nature’s seasons and our community in memorable ways.  

KOAA was able to showcase this marvelous day which can be seen by clicking here: Mountain Song Community School Holds May Faire Celebration 
We Love Our Neighbors!

Last Friday, the classes at Mountain Song celebrated Spring by creating flower crowns, making butter from cream and eating it on bread, and delivering May Day baskets to our neighbors to share our appreciation of them. See snippets of the day in this video.
Join the May Faire Fundraising Campaign
May Faire has come and gone, but our fundraising campaign is just kicking off. Our goal is to raise $20,000 by the last day of school to put towards a beautiful natural playground worthy of the only tuition-free Waldorf inspired school in southern Colorado. Please contribute what you are able, and spread the word!

Ag Arts Plant Sale - Friday, May 13
The Ag Arts Program is excited to announce our annual plant sale on Friday, May 13th!  

We will host the sale after school until all plants are sold.  Plants will be priced from $1 - $5 depending on availability, size, and variety.  We will sell many different types of plants including flowers, peppers, and nearly a dozen different varieties of tomatoes. 

 You can view the full list of our available plants here.  Cash, check, and card will all be accepted as forms of payment. 

Contact Mr. Adam at awright@mountainsongschool.com if you have any questions. 

And special thanks to our 3rd graders for being such wonderful parents to our plant babies this semester!
Garden Volunteer Day
The Ag Arts program is hosting a Volunteer Work Day in our school garden on Saturday, May 14, from 9am - 12pm.  This is just before our final frost date, so we will be focusing on weeding and planting seedlings.  Feel free to come for any length of time -- you don't need to stay for the entire work day.  

Children and adults of any age are welcome.  We will have gloves available for those who need them.  You can also receive training during this time if you plan to volunteer in the garden this summer.  

Contact Mr. Adam at awright@mountainsongschool.com if you have any questions.
Lost and Found Fridays
Anything look familiar?  We have many found items looking to return to their rightful owners.  After school today, be sure to stop by our Lost and Found, near the rock wall in the front of the school, until 3:30pm. 

Ag Arts Volunteers Needed for Weekends
We are looking for garden volunteers to help out during weekends. Duties include caring for the animals and watering the greenhouse.

You can sign up here via our SignUp Genius. Please email Mr. Adam at awright@mountainsongschool.com if you have any questions.
