Winter Faire

The Siskiyou School’s Annual Winter Faire holiday event has been a tradition in the Rogue Valley for over 30 years. At this family-friendly, old-fashioned event, you and your children may dip your own beeswax candle, choose a treat in the Crystal Cookie Room, pick a treasure from the Pocket Person, visit the magical throne room of the Fairy Queen, and more! Many other enchantments, crafts, and activities, along with delicious food and more than 25 gift vendors, will be awaiting your family.

Winter Faire is the biggest community event of the school year. It draws not only alum and old friends, but hundreds of people from all over the valley who don’t necessarily have any affiliation with Waldorf education.

We look forward to celebrating this magnificent day with you.

Advent Spiral

From the City of Lakes Waldorf School:

The Spiral of Light is a festival that is unique in our calendar of the year. There are no presentations by the grades, no speeches by the administration. Instead, we sit in silence in a darkened room, listening for a song sung by a single voice as a candle is lit in the center of a spiral of evergreen boughs, a symbol of life amidst the dead of winter. Then, as quiet music plays, each child in turn takes a candle into the center of that spiral and lights it, then places the candle in an apple along the path. The lights brighten the path for those who come after. Each child walks alone, at his or her own pace, in his or her own way.
