News and Notes:


The sixth, seventh and eighth grade classes have started their own blog site called “The Pizza Shop” in reference to the Middle School favorite hang out spot.

They are hoping to comment on life as a Waldorf child in a non-Waldorf world.

If you are a sixth, seventh and eighth grade student—or a Waldorf alumnus (a). Make a comment at: http://nbwspizza.blogspot.com/

Mean while, we are seeking poems, songs, artwork etc.

LAST CHANCE TO IMPROVE YOUR KARMA:
NANNY NEEDS SOMEONE TO CARE FOR HER DURING FEBRUARY BREAK!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!

You can take care of Nanny and still come to the Needle felting Fundraiser: Garland Cottage

Giulietta Garland, the owner of Garland Cottage needle felting, will be offering a needle-felting workshop in Nestucca Bay next week on Saturday, February 17. The Workshop will start at 10:00 am in the Seminar Room.

The cost of the workshop is $30. Ten dollars of which will go to the Nestucca Bay Cheese Factory Fund. You can bring your own roving, or Giulie will provide a cross-section of colors to purchase. She will also have felting needles, and kits for sale. Tea and coffee will be available. Bring your lunch or something to share.

You can be on vacation and still take care of Nanny: Reminder
All of our faculty are leaving town to drive to Sacramento for the Conference. Don’t miss this opportunity to get on your teacher’s good side. Sam has threatened to take Nanny with him if no one will care for her. Don’t let the school be embarrassed in front of the whole Waldorf Movement! Don’t let Nanny feel rejected and unloved! Your child will help. Nanny will help! Reduce your garbage bill! Fertilize your compost pile. You can do it!

Even Eighth Graders could volunteer to take care of Nanny
after surviving the Eighth Grade Field Trip

Thanks to all those who made the quick trip to Portland to rescue the stranded eighth graders. Sam is out on bail and back in the classroom in time for Valentine’s Day. He adds his heartfelt (no pun intended) thanks to all those parents who made the two hour trip to Portland on short notice. The eighth graders say they may be the only Waldorf class of eighth graders who got to see their teacher arrested for civil disobedience. They are planning to attend Sam’s court date in a few weeks. Meanwhile, Sam says that unless everyone turns in their Main lesson books on the American Revolution, no one will attend the court date.

The Valentine's Day Dance: Herb and Mabel are excused from taking care of Nanny, but what about everyone else?

Thanks to all of you who made Sean’s African chicken recipe. And also, thanks to those who chickened out and brought rice. (He, he) We had a grand feast, and the Ti-pi Makers did us proud. For those who haven’t heard yet, Mabel and Herb made it to the hospital in time, but barely. Francesca has a new baby brother named—wait for it—Valentine! Herb says to tell everyone he’s sorry he had to leave in the middle of the dance, but he’s sure everyone understands.

Announcements:

• The Pearls will have an evening knitting session this week instead of their Monday morning session. Anyone who is interested in doing fiber work in a relaxed group setting, is welcome. The evening session will be on Wednesday evening beginning at 7 pm at Elsa’s house. Nursing babies allowed, but other children should stay at home or at a friend’s house.
Baa, Baa, Baaaa. Maaa. Maaa. (Translation: Please don’t leave me all by myself in the school yard! I need to be milked. I need to be fed. And Edna doesn’t want to do it.)
