Haleakala Waldorf School is located on the
historic Kealahou Public School campus.
Consistency
Harmony
and
Within the Waldorf community, we are familiar with the outcome
of a Waldorf education: graduates who can think for themselves,
who value lasting human relationships, who help others, and
who have high ethical principles. This is accomplished through a
curriculum that is artistic, experiential, and reverent. What we
frequently are not familiar with is the opportunity that Waldorf
education provides to the entire family. This offering is most easily
seen in the early years—the foundation of a child’s life.
Modern life increasingly leaves families of young children isolated
at a time when they can use the most support. Couples have
moved away from their families of origin to pursue independence
or career interests. When children arrive, mothers often find
themselves at home alone with a newborn.
What to do?
Waldorf schools offer these families a strong
sense of community, "a village' of like minded
individuals in which to raise their children”
(Sarah Baldwin). At a time when parents
can use support, the Waldorf teacher serves
as a child development resource. In the
classroom, all the functions of daily life
are modeled_the classroom is designed to
replicate the activities of family life. The
students cook, clean, garden, play, eat, and nap.
Within this environment, children experience
a healthy rhythmic schedule, meal time rituals,
nutrition, and redirection of behavior when
necessary.
All or even just some of these elements may be adopted and
carried out at home, creating a holistic experience for the child
as well as an opportunity for the family to experience beauty
and reverence. This can be therapeutic for the whole family. One
family may adopt the blessing used at meal times, another may
light a candle before the bedtime story, or create space for a
nature table. When the rhythm and form of school is supported
by a nurturing rhythmic structure at home, the child experiences
consistency and harmony. The value of a simple, healthy lifestyle
through play, story, quiet time, celebrations of festivals, and nature
can be enjoyed by the entire family.
Lokahi
H a r m o n y Th r o u g h C o l l a b o r a t i o n
Dear Friends,
We stand at the edge of a new era
for Haleakala Waldorf School. At the
conclusion of last school year, we had
our largest enrollment as well as your
strongest testament of support: over
$725,000. The school’s success is a
direct result of your commitment to
support it. During a national recession
your help has allowed us to provide
families with an increase in scholarships, faculty with salary and
benefit increases, improved playground areas, increased hours to
the 1st – 5th grade assistant, increased budgets for student supplies,
programs, and classrooms, new computer software for working
with alumni, and so much more. We are making a difference for
our children together as partners and as collaborators. This is the
theme for our year—Lokahi: Harmony Through Collaboration.
This school year will mark our 40th birthday! Like a 40 year old,
we have finally reached adulthood, and come into our own selves.
It takes an entire community—parents, friends, teachers, staff,
and board members—to raise children that are free, as well as
encouraged, to live their true natures. We are grateful and excited
that you have joined us in this endeavor.

Every month grades 1-8 get together for an assembly and open
with the reciting of “At the Ringing of The Bells.” Tears spring to
my eyes each time I hear the ideals spoken that the students have
internalized during their time at HWS. These are the values that
you support and actualize through your support of HWS. This is
the beginning of “worldwork” and transformation of our planet.
For every good wish, every dollar, every minute you have given to
HWS over these last 40 years, we are humbly grateful. We know
the children are as well.
Aloha no,
Jocelyn Romero Demirbag
Chair of School
To wonder at beauty
Stand guard over truth.
Look up to the noble,
Resolve on the good.
This leadeth us truly
To purpose in living,
To right in our doing,
To peace in our feeling,
To light in our thinking;
And teaches us trust
In the workings of God,
In all that there is
In the widths of the world,
In the depths of the soul.

nt's Day
5th graders honored the Japanese
culture at the Matsuri Festival
Being a "Waldorf family" supports my determination to live mindfully - to
be conscious of my choices on a daily basis, to "be (at least part of) the
change I want to see in the world". I have this idea, this concept, of "what
if we wanted less? " If, as an advantaged world citizen, I choose to want
less, to have less...then I have more to give, more to share, more ability to
begin to create some equity with world citizens who are disadvantaged.
So even though we don't have extensive financial resources, when I give
significant amounts to Waldorf on a regular basis, it reminds me to actively
"want less", so that I have those resources available for my commitment to
HWS. If every US or Western citizen "wanted less" - there would be enough
for everyone. My HWS contribution supports my son, our future leaders, in
their awareness of global responsibility - that there is a choice beyond the
"more, more,more" mainstream consumer mentality in our country.

To me, Waldorf represents everything that is good and right in the world,
and reminds me that I have a responsibility - and the ability - to be good
and right too - we all do.

Kahiau Award
H ALEAKALA W ALDORF S C H OOL S TUDE N T RECE I VE S KA H I AU A W ARD
HWS student Denise Kalff was awarded the first Kahiau Award by
Michael Powell at the school’s last day assembly on June 3rd. The
award recognized an 8th grade student for the personal quality
of selfless giving and generosity of spirit without expectation of
return. This is the meaning of the Hawaiian word “kahiau.”
Denise was nominated by her peers who wrote essays on her
kindness. Classmates wrote: “Some people hold a kind deed over
your head, expecting to get something back. Denise doesn’t, she
is simply a good person.” and “She just amazes me and makes me
want to be a better person.”
community”. That means generously sharing their insights, ideas
and success. They regularly assist charities, more than 30 annually
at the last count, in fund-raising through art sales.
Powell began the Kahiau Award at La Pietra – Hawaii School
For Girls and extended it to Haleakala Waldorf School when he
learned of the value of human relationships at HWS. The award
consisted of an original painting by Powell, created especially for
the occasion, of a rural upcountry landscape featuring jacaranda
trees and a central illuminated area where some saw an angel.
Powell is half of Tagami & Powell, “Hawaii’s most remarkable artistic
duo", though they would be the first to deny this as modesty is
an important aspect of their philosophy. Over a 24 year shared
artistic history, each has sold thousands of canvasses to collectors
and connoisseurs around the globe. People who know art in
Hawaii know them and their exhibitions are heavily attended. At
the same time, their approach to art includes “giving back to the

Many have stepped up to make HWS a philanthropic priority and
have joined the Leadership Giving Circle with a contribution of
$1,000 or more to the Annual Giving Fund.
"Giving to HWS is supporting the community that has held my children
for eight years, from preschool through junior high. It is expressing my
gratitude for encouraging me to be the best possible parent. Giving is my
gesture of financial commitment that mirrors the school’s unwavering
commitment to growth, integrity and excellence. It is a privilege to be
able to send my children to HWS. And it is a privilege to be able to
support HWS at a level that says…'Thank you for being an exceptional
partner in raising my children'. —Karen Bouris

Alumni Spotlight
I t T a k e s a F a mi l y
One of the most beautiful aspects of being a part of the HWS
community is that it is a place the whole family can participate in
and enjoy. Parents and students alike experience opportunities
for growth and evolution. It is also quite a strong statement when
these former students begin enrolling their own children. The
Dodge family is one that has engaged with HWS in many ways
over the years.
When pregnant with her first child, Clifton, Maile Rietow Dodge
was handed one of Steiner’s books by a friend, and her passion for
Anthroposophy was ignited. Maile then moved to Maui in 1976
before Clifton started kindergarten, and worked with teachers
and the community to get our campus ready as this was the year
that the school moved from Wailuku to its current location. And
so Maile’s journey with HWS began. Ultimately, her three children
Clifton (‘85), Kalia ('86) and Nina (‘95) all came through HWS.
While her children were here, Maile served as board president,
initiated the original Holiday Faire (then called Christmas Faire),
created the first Ke Ala Hou Newsletter, wrote the original
grant proposals to local foundations in Honolulu for both capital
improvements and operating funds, courted trained Waldorf
teachers to come to HWS such as the McCrarys, recruited
families that now have lifelong multi-generational connections to
HWS such as the Spaldings, and even served as the secretary of
the Anthroposophical Society in Hawaii. Under her tenure, the
school grew and flourished.
Maile set a fine example of community service and parent
involvement, and her apples did not fall far from the tree. Clifton
served as the school gardening teacher from 1996-2006. The
children loved the joy that Clifton brought to working with
plants, and Clifton responded out of a reciprocal love. Despite his
landscaping business that spanned Molokai, Lanai, and Maui, Clifton
made time to come back to school once a week on Fridays for
ten years, and specialized in planting native plants around campus.
Clifton’s son Duke is now enrolled in the 'Apapane preschool and
the koa and sandlewood trees he planted during that time have
grown tall.
Nina came back to the school as well, serving as our Hawaiiana
teacher for a year. Nina is now completing her Masters in Hawaiian
language, has trained with Aunty Gordean Bailey as a hula dancer,
and also has a wealth of knowledge regarding native plants. We are
looking forward to the day when Nina's children attend HWS!
Kalia has had two children enrolled at HWS over the past four
years: Lana in the 3rd grade and Kyle in the 1st grade. Kalia is the
founder of Maui Mind and Body, LLC, supporting women’s personal
health and wellness. Over the years, Kalia has worked closely with
her children’s teachers as a room parent, and has contributed
significantly to the annual Holiday Faire as wreaths chair, was an
angel and parent rep for Night of Delight, and has participated in
school Wisdom Circles. As a Waldorf graduate, Kalia is regarded
by her peers as a strong example of the kind of person they would
love to see their children grow into!
“I do feel deeply connected with the community of the school- and I love
being a parent, and having the opportunity to understand at another
level what I experience as a result of going through the school—it's
quite profound. I am so grateful that my children get to have this
experience, and that I get to experience it myself, as a parent”.
—Kalia Kelmenson
It is a treat now to see Tutu Maile back on campus picking up her
grandchildren, and imagine the changes she has witnessed as HWS
has grown over the years. It takes a whole family to raise a school,
and the Dodges are a strong example of the difference that one
family can make.

A Social Education
A r t w o r k f r o m o r i g in a l s t o r y b o o k s b y f o u r g r a d u a t e s o f t h e
At the beginning of the school year, each first grade student is
paired up with an eighth grade student. As the year unfolds, a deep
and sweet bond blossoms. In the spring, the eighth grade students
compose, illustrate, and bind a story book for their first graders.
To really observe and reflect back the nature of a young child
requires a level of compassionate thoughtfulness that is not always
seen in adolescents. The opportunity to see themselves as role
models, to reach back into their own experience at the beginning
of their journey through the grades and connect with their inner
seven year old is quite powerful for the development of the eighth
grade students.
