Don’t Forget to Collect Special Seeds
This Summer!
In preparation for Summerfield’s 2nd annual Our Mother
Land Celebration, scheduled for September 8, 2009, the
Land Stewardship Committee is initiating a “Summerfield
Seed Bank.” We are asking that each student shepherd a favorite plant through its development into seed-formation, then
There are many stories behind seeds – memories, family favorites, likes, dislikes, etc. Be it food or flowers, seeds are the
soul of agriculture. As Claire Hope Cummings says in her
book Uncertain Peril, “I want to respect this plant’s productive cycle.” Let’s gather our seeds and share our abundance
and diversity as a thriving community!
Ronni Sands, on behalf of the Land Stewardship Committee
gather these special seeds and bring them to school in the
fall. Special seed envelopes were sent with each reenrollment
packet (a few more are available from Tracy in the office). On
the envelope, you will need to put the name of the plant, a
simple picture, and your name. By sharing your favorite seeds
with others, there will be an abundance of seeds available for
you to take away as well. It is our hope that we can preserve
diversity and share with each other the fruits of our labor.

The Farm is Thankful for the Feast
On behalf of the farm, I wish to express our appreciation
to all of the Development staff and parent volunteers who
put forth the effort needed to prepare the farm for the Farm
to Feast event. There were, admittedly, times when I doubted
the wisdom of offering the farm for the event. But then, as if
from nowhere, people would show up and perform a feat of
magic that took the burden of preparation off the shoulder
of the farm staff, in this most busy time of the farm-year.
There was minimal disruption, a great and long overdue
cleaning and organizing, and tremendous goodwill. Then
there was the actual event. When I stepped out of the door
of the farmhouse, into the farm as I had never seen it before
(and believe me when I say I have seen the farm in many,
many forms), I realized the importance of staging this event
here on the farm. The farm was literally aglow with its beauty
and the warmth expressed by all of the volunteers and guests.
I think all present were aware of the farm’s unique opportunities as a part of Summerfield, and how fitting it was for
the farm to help with the tuition assistance fund that allows
more families to benefit from what our school and farm offer.
Perry Hart for the Farm Staff
Faculty/Staff vs 8th Grade Softball Game!
You are warmly invited to the annual “Big Game” on
Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 1:20PM on the softball field.
Come and cheer and enjoy the fun.
Don Basmajian
The Horses are Here,
The Horses are Here!
You may have already heard the news from your children,
that we are soon to have a team of Belgian workhorses assisting us with our field work, putting us further along our path
of sustainability. The farm wishes to publicly express our
gratitude to the Eddie Gelsman/Wendy Mardigian family;
the Peter Krause family, and the Jeffrey and Line Westman family for their generous support and encouragement
towards this realized dream of the farm.
Ott Family Fundraiser - A Success!
It was a beautiful evening, complete with lovely strains
from the guitar of Terry Keady during a delicious supper.
Folk dancing music provided by Gradina raised everyone
to their feet, big and little ones alike. Raffle prizes were won
and silent auction bidders got great deals. All of this was to
benefit the Ott family by raising over $2000! This will help
to get them settled into their new home, which they are still
looking for. Please contact them with any leads on a two bedroom in the Sebastopol/Graton area, or if you have any items
to give from their wish list for setting up their home:
Wood platform queen bed frame, small CD/tape cassette
player, docking station for iPod (speakers), food dehydrator,
four wood (wicker) chairs for a small round table, vacuum
cleaner, toaster oven, bookshelves, beautiful fabric to drape
on walls and furniture, child’s paint, paper, and easel, small
trampoline, wool sweaters, winter coats, sofa, iron and board,
cutting boards, salad spinner, calendar, rugs, ceramic plates,
glasses. Contact Yvette Simone, Anthony Ott 415-497-5669,
[email protected]
Many thanks go to the Summerfield community for sponsoring this event and buying tickets! More thanks go to the
volunteer efforts of the musicians, the Blossoms families who
put on the event from start to finish, and the businesses who
donated all the food: Raley’s, Oliver’s, Whole Foods, Della
Fattoria Bakery, Costeaux Bakery, Santa Rosa Community
Market and Trader Joe’s. Many thanks to the individuals and
businesses who donated to our raffle and auction: Kaleidoscope Toys in Windsor, Earth Child in Sebastopol and the
Quiltmaker of Napa.

Congratulations, 6th Grade Soccer Players!
The 2009 soccer season was a success for Summerfield’s 6th grade co-ed team. After waiting patiently until the 6th grade to
play, Summerfield finished the season undefeated. The combination of a group of children who are passionate about soccer and
respectful of each other, plus Ignacio Garat’s and Garth Elledge’s coaching created a team that commanded all parts of the field.
“It is a process,” said Garat. “The children showed up as a team and played like a team. It was fun for me.”
Headed to another lopsided win during their last game on May 28th, Garat employed one of his many tactics used throughout the season to even the playing field. He required his team to make six passes before a shot on goal. This slowed Summerfield’s scoring but the defense delivered a shut-out.
Summer is Here, and Farm Camp is Just
Around the Corner!

New Time of Year for Photos
Next year we will be switching our school photo date to the fall - September 22 & 23. This change comes at the request of
our faculty at Summerfield who wish the photos to look like the children appear to us in the early part of the year. New teachers and subject teachers can use the class photos to get to know the names of all the students in this way, and the student ID
cards will also be more current. Please be prepared for the photo packets to come home in early September, right after school
begins. Sorry that the last images (this year’s, in March) will seem so similar in your photo albums to the ones the students will
receive in the fall, but for just one year we’ll have to put up with it and then, after that, the children will look at least one year
older in their successive photos! Thanks for your understanding.

Annual Giving Campaign
In a year that was challenging financially, Summerfield
Waldorf School and Farm raised the most money for our Annual Giving drive ever. To date we have raised, $286,775.00,
and we could even hit $400,0000 by the end of the fiscal year
in July! What does this mean, and where does the money
go? While trying to not sound melodramatic, these funds
save jobs, programs, and keep families returning to Summerfield- in raising these funds, we are able to keep the tuition
at affordable levels. This money is crucial to the continued
success of our school and we are so fortunate to have a community that can rally together to step forward in times that
make us feel as though we need to hold back. Thank you
to all the Annual Giving class representatives for their time,
energy, and enthusiasm, and to all Summerfield supporters!

Farewells & Transitions for Next Year
Farewells ~
Ellyn Morrison
Ellyn came to us from the Marin Waldorf School in 1982, where she had been a kindergarten teacher for two years. She taught
as the lead teacher in the White Rose Kindergarten until two years ago. She then spent one year assisting in the White Rose
and one in the Rosebud Preschool. So many children have had Ellyn as their kindergarten teacher – so many have sat in her
comforting lap or held her hand through hard times, so many have shared their youthful delight with her. She has led the Early
Childhood through numerous changes and incarnations as the strong head of their program, through her work in the College
and faculty and parent meetings. Much of the rhythm and schedule of the kindergarten day and its strong policies, as well as
the festival and parent life of the school springs from her dedicated work. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to this charismatic
and knowledgeable faculty member. She is retiring from teaching at Summerfield after 27 years, and we wish her all the best!
Marianna deCroes
In the summer of 1991, Marianna deCroes (then Raichart) began her teaching career at Summerfield upon completing the fulltime Waldorf teacher training at Sunbridge College, Spring Valley, New York. Together with her two youngest sons, Matthew
and David, she trekked across country to join the Summerfield community. Her eight-year odyssey with the Class of 2000 began that fall. She was a cherished teacher, deeply appreciated by both the children and their parents. Marianna was a key member of the College and the Care Group for many years, and she and founding parent Mary Beard laid the plans for, and began,
our school Instrumental Music Program. She also secured grants to start and sustain our Therapeutic Speech Program, working
closely with our first speech therapist Helen Lubin and, later, with Leila Allen. After her class graduated from 8th grade, Marianna took a year off to pursue graduate studies at Emerson College, UK, and to study Storytelling. Upon her return, she served
as Summerfield’s Admissions Director. She then served as the first Lower School Coordinator for four years including serving
on the Governance Council. As the Lower School Coordinator she helped formulate and put in place the new 7th/8th Grade
Program. She served on the Board for five years and was a guiding member of the accreditation team for six years. For the past
three years, Marianna has been a member of the humanities faculty at Summerfield’s high school. In June, she is “retiring” from
teaching to pursue her passion to bring the art of storytelling to parents, teachers, psychologists and adolescents in America
and Europe. We will miss Marianna’s teaching artistry and dedication to Summerfield and its students. We wish her well in her
venture to bring the art of storytelling to a wider audience. Stay in touch with Marianna via [email protected].
Kristie Amezcua
Kristie came to our school at the beginning of this year, with an extensive background in nonprofit organizations and development. She worked hard to manifest her vision of Summerfield spreading its wings into the larger community. Her connections
and ideas for networking have paid off in advertisements in print and on-air, as well as engendering good will and recognition
in the wider area. She was instrumental in helping us join both Farm Trails and Slow Food. She has been a strong colleague in
administration (in the office) and development (on the Board, and in her day-to-day work). She led our Annual Giving Campaign and Farm to Feast on both of their successful journeys, supported by Rahadra Glessner and many volunteers. Through
all this, however, Kristie has decided to return to massage therapy and freelance writing, which she was doing after having left
the non-profit sector. Thankfully, she will be remaining in our school community with her husband and lovely daughter Ruby
Rose.

Amy Ruegg
As Amy graduates our 8th grade this year, she will be leaving her teaching here. Amy came to us last year, as an angel, to carry
this class who had lost several of its teachers along its journey. Her compassion and dedication to the students and her commitment to the curriculum, especially her gifts in the realm of science teaching, have been a huge blessing to us all. We cannot
thank Amy enough for calmly and conscientiously caring for this class in its last formative year in the lower school.
Rahadra Glessner
This year, Rahadra stepped up from being volunteer extraordinaire for the past several years, to being our paid Development
Coordinator. She brought her usual zest and heartfelt caring to the tasks before her but, after a year, has decided that this job
and her family interests do not coexist well. We are glad that we’ll still be able to have her exuberance and creativity in the life
of our community!
Anne Cook
Anne worked at Summerfield as our Therapeutic Eurythmist for 12 years. She was a valued colleague in the lower school
and a strong member of our Care Group. This year, she took time off to have shoulder surgery and is recovering well. Roger
Lundberg was hired for the year and will be continuing as our Therapeutic Eurythmist in the future. We wish Anne well in all
her future endeavors and trust that she will continue to be a presence in our community, both as an artist and as a professional
consultant.
Joanne Henn
Joanne has been our Lower School Educational Support teacher for the past three years, teaching Extra Lesson, Bal-a-Vis-X
Movement, and the Kindergarten Developmental Obstacle Course, as well as assisting with the kindergarten and second
grade assessments. We thank her for all her good work with our students needing remedial support. Joanne will continue to
be available for private consultations and support work.
Mary Bowen
Affectionately known as “Grandma Mary,” Mary has been a Roots & Shoots teacher for several years. A long-time early childhood and parent educator, she has helped strengthen and deepen Summerfield’s parent-child program. We will always be
grateful for the wisdom and creativity she has brought to this work on behalf of our school community.
Line Westman
Line has been a Roots & Shoots instructor at Summerfield for two years now. She is a trained Waldorf teacher who has shared
her calm presence with all the parents and children she held in her warm, joyful countenance.
Transitions ~
Lisa York Wilde
Lisa has been the lead teacher in our Handwork program since 2002 and has been instrumental in forming and strengthening the Lower School program. She is now wanting to devote a bit more of her time to her own artistic pursuits, and will be
stepping back from the youngest grades – 1st through 4th. Jacqui McAuliffe will be taking over these grades as the lead teacher,
and Laurel Henson will be her assistant. Lisa will continue instruction in the other lower school grades and in her high school
textile arts classes.

Karen Guthman
Karen will take on the Assistant role in the Rosebud Preschool. She has done this in the past, as well as being the Red Rose Assistant. Tara Kelly will be the new Red Rose Kindergarten Assistant.
Rick Concoff
Rick Concoff has been teaching at Summerfield since 1993. First he taught 3rd grade violin classes, then took on coordinating
our entire Instrumental Music Program, as well as teaching strings in other classes and conducting the Orchestra for both lower
and high school. He moved on to do High School and Lower School counseling as well as High School Core Group work.
We owe him a huge debt of gratitude for all the work he has done to form and sustain our Instrument Program – this has been
an invaluable gift to our school! Rick has recently passed the Instrumental Music Program coordinator baton to Eddie Guthman and Isabel Wundsum. He has also been honored by the school with a modified sabbatical for the next school year which
includes being off for the first quarter and coming back quarter time for the rest of the year. He will still be teaching strings,
orchestra, and Values & Virtues in the lower school; and, in the high school, folk dancing and Comparative Religions. The
work which Rick will be letting go of next year will be reassigned by the LS and HS Support groups for the year. We wish Rick
a restful and rejuvenating (partial) time off !
Katherine Waldman
Katherine has taught eurythmy in our Lower School since 2000. (The upper grades, 7th through high school, are taught by Renate Lundberg.) Next year, Katherine will teach kindergarten through 2nd grade and will step back from the 3rd through 6th
grade eurythmy lessons for a partial sabbatical. These classes will be taught by a new eurythmy teacher – hiring still pending.
Addressing the Whole Person: the Role of the Waldorf Parent
Talk by Martin Novom on Friday, October 16, 2009
7:00pm, Sophia Hall, Donation at the Door
“My children are learning so much at our school and it is joy to see them excited about learning.” Does this sound like you or
someone you know? These, and many other reasons, are why we have so much appreciation for our Waldorf school. Traveling
the path of a Waldorf parent can be exciting and illuminating. It can also sometimes be confusing or even frustrating.
The Waldorf curriculum has been developed in such a wonderful way in following the growth needs of the children, from
pre-school through high school. Has our Waldorf school done as well with us as adults? Do we feel understood? Do we feel
fully utilized and effective in our adult relationships in support of our school?
As part of the Saturday, October 17 workshop, “The Waldorf Capital Campaign: Transforming Fear into Courage,” Martin
Novom, CFRE, is presenting an evening discussion aimed at the questions and issues of being a parent in a Waldorf school.
This is not a presentation on the curriculum or on the role of parents in support of their child’s class. In his lively and warm
style, Martin will lead us in an exploration of how we as parents we can encourage organizational excellence for our school and
still leave each other free as human beings.
We hope you will mark your calendar for this opportunity to grow and strengthen our community.

Lost & Found Items Need Good Home
On the last day of school, Tracy and I will spread out all the unclaimed clothes that are overflowing the Lost & Found Trunk
on the lawn in front of the office. They will then be up for grabs for whomever wishes to take them home. So before then, if you
know of any items your child is missing (that you want to try to retrieve), please peruse the array of clothing that fills the trunk
and is also stuffed into a plastic bag next to it. There is a mountain of stuff ! After school ends, we’ll donate the remainder to
charity, so hurry and look soon!

Leslie Young
The farm is offering a weekly box of produce from our fields once again this summer. We will begin distribution on Wednesday, June 17, and continue each Wednesday through September 2. The cost will be $30 per week, payable at the beginning of

The Waldorf Capital Campaign: Transforming Fear into Courage
Workshop Led by Martin Novom, CFRE, Skystone Ryan
Saturday, October 17, 2009, Sophia Hall, $155 - includes Friday Evening Talk
In every region of the country there are nonprofit organizations which have conducted successful capital campaigns for
buildings, land, or both. For those of us in a Waldorf school, what can we learn from over 100 years of successful (and unsuccessful) fundraising programs? No one in North America knows more about capital campaigns and how they work in Waldorf
schools than Martin Novom. Martin combines his 23 years of professional experience with more than 30 years as a student of
anthroposophy. He understands the unique qualities and characteristics of Waldorf schools and how we each can pursue and
implement effective principles of American philanthropy while authentically fulfilling the mission of our school.
Martin has advised more than 60 Waldorf schools since 1992 and has taught an annual workshop series for schools since
2001. He is the Co-Director of the Administration with Spirit program at Rudolf Steiner College, which offers a certificatebased training for administrators of Waldorf schools and other spiritually-inspired organizations.
Come join us for a lively and enjoyable workshop. As a participant you will:
• Explore this fascinating topic
• Expand the fundraising capacity of your school
• Plan your own commitment to personal growth in philanthropic advocacy
We at Summerfield are poised to begin an exciting capital campaign to add a new entrance road and planned buildings,
including an art-tech, library and gymnasium. We’re sponsoring this workshop as a valuable first step - let’s take it together!
Dan Westphal, for the Board of Directors
