Each year, our Meadowbrook Waldorf School community comes together to design and plan our traditional Holiday Faire. It is an event unlike any other in the area, and we have watched it grow each year in attendance as visitors come from all over the tri-state area and beyond to celebrate this special time.
As the Winter solstice approaches we take a moment to realize that each one of us has their own way of celebrating the change season, and the festivities that accompany these changes.
This year we choose the theme of ?guiding light? ?as a way to honor the light within each of us and as a way to honor the various spiritual and?religious traditions that hold this theme in high esteem regardless of the orientation. We hope you will come and celebrate with us and bring your family and friends. ?Our intention is that the warmth and light of the season touches you and all of those you love and cherish.
