KELSEYVILLE,‌ ‌Calif.‌ ‌–‌ ‌On‌ ‌Saturday,‌ ‌Feb.‌ ‌27,‌ ‌from‌ ‌10‌ ‌a.m.‌ ‌to‌ ‌4‌ ‌p.m.,‌ ‌the‌ ‌Peace‌ ‌&‌ ‌Plenty‌ ‌Farm‌ ‌Stand‌ ‌at‌ ‌4550‌ ‌Soda‌ ‌Bay‌ ‌Road‌ ‌in‌ ‌Kelseyville‌ ‌will‌ ‌host‌ ‌a‌ ‌spring‌ ‌plant‌ ‌sale‌ ‌to‌ ‌raise‌ ‌funds‌ ‌for‌ ‌starting‌ ‌up‌ ‌Shade‌ ‌Canyon,‌ ‌a‌ ‌tuition-free,‌ ‌Waldorf-inspired‌ ‌public‌ ‌charter‌ ‌school.‌ ‌

If‌ ‌authorized,‌ ‌the‌ ‌school‌ ‌would‌ ‌open‌ ‌in‌ ‌fall‌ ‌of‌ ‌2022‌ ‌with‌ ‌grades‌ ‌transitional‌ ‌kindergarten‌ ‌through‌ ‌third‌ ‌grade,‌ ‌then‌ ‌expand‌ ‌by‌ ‌one‌ ‌grade‌ ‌each‌ ‌year‌ ‌until‌ ‌it‌ ‌offers‌ ‌a‌ ‌full‌ ‌TK/K-8‌ ‌program.‌ ‌ ‌

All‌ ‌Lake‌ ‌County‌ ‌students‌ ‌would‌ ‌be‌ ‌eligible‌ ‌to‌ ‌attend.‌ ‌

A‌ ‌time-tested‌ ‌model,‌ ‌Waldorf‌ ‌education‌ ‌brings‌ ‌forth‌ ‌a‌ ‌sense‌ ‌of‌ ‌wonder,‌ ‌cognitive‌ ‌strength,‌ ‌self-awareness‌ ‌and‌ ‌social‌ ‌fluency,‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌respect‌ ‌for‌ ‌self,‌ ‌others‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌environment‌ ‌–‌ ‌all‌ ‌while‌ ‌building‌ ‌a‌ ‌strong‌ ‌academic‌ ‌foundation.‌ ‌ 
 ‌Shade‌ ‌Canyon’s‌ ‌planned‌ ‌curriculum‌ ‌weaves‌ ‌together‌ ‌hands-on‌ ‌learning,‌ ‌integrated‌ ‌subjects,‌ ‌outdoor‌ ‌exploration,‌ ‌and‌ ‌a‌ ‌deep‌ ‌awareness‌ ‌of‌ ‌child‌ ‌development.‌ ‌Waldorf‌ ‌students‌ ‌become‌ ‌critical‌ ‌thinkers‌ ‌who‌ ‌are‌ ‌curious‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌ ‌world,‌ ‌connected‌ ‌to‌ ‌their‌ ‌communities‌ ‌and‌ ‌confident‌ ‌in shaping‌ ‌them.‌ ‌

Those‌ ‌who‌ ‌would‌ ‌like‌ ‌to‌ ‌help‌ ‌Shade‌ ‌Canyon‌ ‌School‌ ‌grow‌ ‌strong‌ ‌roots‌ ‌but‌ ‌are‌ ‌unable‌ ‌to‌ ‌attend‌ ‌the‌ ‌plant‌ ‌sale‌ ‌can‌ ‌learn‌ ‌more‌ ‌at‌ ‌‌https://www.shadecanyon.org/founding-a-school‌‌ ‌.‌ ‌
