Create for yourself a new, indomitable perception of faithfulness. What is usually called faithfulness passes so quickly. Let this be your faithfulness:
You will experience moments...fleeting moments...with the other person. The human being will appear to you then as if filled, irradiated with the archetype of his spirit.
And then there may be....indeed, will be, other moments, long periods of time, when human beings are darkened. But you will learn to say to yourself at such times: the Spirit makes me strong. I remember the archetype - I saw it once. No illusion, no deception, shall rob me of it.
Always struggle for the image that you saw. This struggle is faithfulness. Striving thus for faithfulness, we shall be close to one another, as if endowed with the protective power of angels."
Rudolph Steiner

Everybody Loves a Clean Floor
A new vacuum cleaner has moved to the top of our wish list! Our stalwart volunteer cleaners have put out the call: please donate to the vacuuming cause! Ways you can help:
1) Donate a quality, working vacuum that you no longer need
2) Contribute to the vacuum cleaner fund (no donation is too small - all are appreciated)
3) Approach a merchant that sells vacuums and ask if they might consider donating one to our school, because, of course.....everybody loves a clean floor!

TWS YELLOW PAGES
WHAT DO
YOU DO???
Thanks to the enthusiastic leadership of Andy Salamone, Mila's dad and also Board President, we are putting together a list of TWS community service providers - sort of a "yellow pages". The idea is that the more we know about each others' livelihoods, the more we can support our community. SO, please go to your class parent rep, and let that person know what you do for a living! The rep will compile a list, and next thing you know, we will have a handy TWS yellow (green? purple?......turqoise!) pages.
Bulb sale continues through October 10!
Please help with this easy and fun fundraiser. Our goal is for each family to sell 10 packages of bulbs. They make great gifts!
Turn completed order forms in to your teacher or to the office.
