Guess Who Went to a Waldorf School?
 Famous Waldorf Graduates..., movie star Kenneth Chenault, CEO of American Express Corporation Michael Ende, writer, author of The Neverending Story Sandra Bullock, movie star Julianna Margolies, actress,
star of the television series "The Good Wife"
(High Mowing Waldorf School):
"The first time I understood the benefit of a Waldorf education was my first week in college. Students around me were flipping out because they were afraid of writing papers. At High Mowing we had at least ten pages to write every night. It was such a big part of our education that I was very confident in my writing. We had to analyze each scene, then write the analysis. I still have my "Faust" main lesson book with me. When I wrote about it, I was able to expand my thinking and make it my own. That's what's so wonderful about Waldorf education. You're exposed to all these different ideas, but you're never given one view of it. You're encouraged to think as an individual." Other Waldorf students who have famous parents include... Children and grandchildren of Paul Newman, actor Daughter of Mikhail Baryshnikov, dancer Children of Greg Allman, musician ( Allman Brothers Band) Daughter of Tom Waits, musician Daughter of Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard, screen stars Daughter of Lenny Kravitz, rock musician Children of Glen Frey, singer (The Eagles) Son of Charles Neville, musician ( The Neville Brothers) Children of George Lucas, film director Children of James Taylor and Carly Simon, musicians Children of Clifford Stoll, codeveloper of the Internet and author of Log OutChildren of John Paul Jones, bass player of Led ZeppelinSon of Mick Jones, musician (member of the band Foreigner) Children of Joe Namath, football quarterback Children of John DeLorean, automobile designer and manufacturer Children of Russell Schweikert, astronautDaughter of Chubby Checker, “King of the Twist” Children of Gilbert Grosvenor, longtime editor of

Barn-Raising at Emerson Farm
 OK, so we're actually raising a shed, but we still need all of the community support we can get. Please come and join us on Saturday, Nov. 17 and/or Sunday, Nov. 18 between 9:00am and 4:00pm as we rebuild the much needed shed at Emerson Farm. The shed-raising will be directed by Keith Bartholomew. Architectural plans for the shed are being drawn up by HS Junior Anthony Day who is interning with Mr. Bartholomew. We need people - with building skills,
- cooks who are willing to help provide a hearty meal and snacks during the day,
- and extras who can step in when many hands are needed and work on other projects in the garden when fewer hands are needed.
Please email Mary Beth Mueller at mmueller@emersonwaldorf.org to let her know that you plan to come or donate food so that we can make sure we have enough food for our workers and enough workers for our food. Many thank you's to Beck Kasimov and Zumrad Ahmedjanova who, together with their group from the Legacy Center, tore down our old shed last spring...leaving this lovely space for the new shed. - Mary Beth Mueller

Forging Ahead!
 One year ago the whole High School faculty was enrolled in the Renewal week of teacher training in Wilton, NH. We visited the High Mowing Waldorf School, and we were impressed with work done in the blacksmith facility at the school. Jessie Rabius came back to EWS determined to have a blacksmithing program in our school. When 5th grade teacher Kris Ritz invited master blacksmith Allan Green from Hillsborough Woodcrest Farm to do some sample classes, Dan Moise saw an opportunity. We started our first blacksmithing course at EWS High School last year, having Jessie and Dan driving the senior students to Woodcrest Farm to practice. Mr. Green offered to build a forge for the school at an affordable price. Dan Moise applied for a grant with NC Electric Cooperative’s “Bright Ideas” program. Our efforts have been successful. Piedmont Electric, our local electric cooperative, has awarded EWS $1,500 for the project. A group of teachers and volunteers will build the blacksmithing facility under Mr. Green’s supervision. If you are willing to help by volunteering or making a donation please contact Dan Moise, Jessie Rabius, or our school administrator, Steve Bennett.

Duke Children’s Hospital has asked for dolls urgently and I really want volunteers or donations. For more information please contact Cooper Lamb or Chris Lamb at clamb@ipass.net.

Beautiful Fall Craft for Little Ones
 You can hang this beautiful leaf mobile in front of a window to let the light shine through the rich colors. Have a little one collect 5-6 beautiful fall leaves and place them on laminating sheets. You can assist with the lamination (you can fit
several onto one laminating pouch).
Once the leaves have been
laminated, an adult can cut them out (allowing a small margin of plastic around the
leaf); your little one can punch a hole in the top, and feed a fine cotton or nylon thread
through the holes, and an adult can knot the leaf into position on the thread as you
go.
You can start with a large leaf at the top, using progressively smaller
leaves further down. Tie a small loop at the top to hang in the window. Fall captured through November!
