Student's Initiative at Chicago Waldorf School May Fair

Arcturus Table at the Chicago Waldorf School May Fair

Sarah Herman & Martha Mathis - Foundation Year Students

A new table appeared at this year’s May Fair. A group of Arcturus Students worked together to put many interesting items for sale. Their goal was to raise money to help pay for their tuition. In order to help the support the students, the core group funded the table. As the idea unfolded many projects developed and the end product included not only student work but also donations from other students and faculty. There was hand-made soap, hand dyed yarn, pentatonic flute cd’s (played, recorded and sung by foundation year students), hair clips and other accessories, jewelry, beautiful felt projects and lots of greeting cards just to name a few items.

The table was a complete success! Not sure what to expect in terms of how much money they would raise, the students were quite delighted when they found out they had raised $712!!! They wish to thank everyone in the community for their generous support in helping them continue their studies and get closer to their dreams of becoming Waldorf Teachers!
