The Holiday Workshop Store brought Waldorf-Style crafts, toys and local art to the community, while raising money for the school
The spirit of giving is alive and well at Whidbey Island Waldorf School, with parents, friends, alumni, community partners and foundations all playing a part. The WIWS Development Office coordinates numerous activities that help grow and maintain our school’s academic, financial and structural resources. At the core of this effort is the building and nurturing of relationships with a variety of individuals and organizations who share our vision of educational excellence.
Because tuition covers about 85 percent of our school’s operating costs, as is customary at most independent schools, we rely on additional funding from our Annual Giving Campaign, Annual Auction, special fundraising appeals, businesses and foundations to enhance our educational programs and facilities and to support a diverse population of families who are passionate about Waldorf education.
We also rely heavily on the generous support of dedicated volunteers – parents, grandparents, and friends – who share their time and talent for work projects, participation in school governance, special events, and student productions. We are blessed to be a community of families who actively contribute to the school in so many ways.
