With great pride

the Faculty, Staff, Trustees, and

Graduating Class of 2011

of the

Great Barrington Waldorf High School

announce their

Commencement Exercises

on Sunday, the twelfth of June,

two thousand and eleven,

at one o’clock in the afternoon

in the Kellogg Music Center

at Bard College at Simon’s Rock

The Great Barrington Waldorf High School will be closed for the first three weeks of April, but that doesn’t mean the students won’t be busy and learning. Ninth and 10^th grade students—joined by some older students who have not traveled in the past—will travel to Munich, Germany, or Cali, Colombia, to visit Waldorf schools there. They will live with families in these cities, visit museums and other sites, and attend classes as part of an important cultural exchange.

Other Juniors and Seniors will spend time on projects or internships that get them out in the world. This year, these include electrical engineering, pottery, fitness, stone masonry, truck repair, and early childhood teaching.

Students will report on their travel and work at a dinner to honor the Senior class on May 20, 2011.

Phoebe Rohn, Class of 2012, is currently attending the Sixth Form Law Conference at Cambridge University, which runs from March 21 to March 24, 2011. The conference, run by a committee of current law undergraduate students, “was founded thirty-seven years ago to give Year 12 students who may be interested in studying law at degree level a balanced view of the Law, both as an academic subject and as a profession, and also to offer an insight into life as a Cambridge undergraduate.”

Phoebe is contemplating a career in international law, and chose to apply to this conference to pursue that goal. Conference topics include Roman law, intellectual property law, pro bono work, and a mock trial.

According to her family, last they heard, Phoebe “was standing along the Queen’s Way with some friends waiting to see the Duke of Edinburgh ‘on promenade.’ Apparently all Cambridge is abuzz because this weekend is the legendary Oxford-Cambridge boat race on the Thames. Needless to say, she is in her bliss!”

Following the conference, Phoebe will travel to Munich, where she will join 18 of our German students for a three week visit to the Munich-Schwabing Waldorf School.

Alee Danyluk, Class of 2014

Thanks to designer Kate Hixon, parent in the Class of 2012, the American Chemistry Council, Chlorine Chemistry Division, commissioned artwork from Great Barrington Waldorf High School students to print on its holiday cards for 2010.

Aneli Poland, Class of 2013, and Alee Danyluk, Naomi Pitman, and Nicholas Sagarin, Class of 2014, worked under the guidance of Waldorf art teacher Elizabeth Lombardi and then had their work chosen and reproduced on the cards.

In exchange for the rights to use the students’ work, the American Chemistry Council donated $1000 to the Waldorf High School. This money will be used to support art programs at the school.

According to the Chemistry Council, “This work was part of a larger student art project, where the students worked from supplied imagery to honor and increase awareness for the efforts of the Chlorine Chemistry Division of the American Chemistry Council and the Chlorine Chemistry Foundation to provide clean water to areas in need, such as West Africa, and, more recently, Pakistan.”
