Mardis Gras Ball

The 8th grade is sponsoring an adults-only Mardis Gras Ball in the Community Hall with proceeds to benefit Haiti. Come dance your socks off to live vintage and future rock and roll by Giraffe Attack ( and maybe a few surprise guests...) There will be delicious food, beverages, and a festive scene in which to show your support and have fun too. In order to encourage Merriconeag parents with young children to attend, we are offering free childcare by a student, in your home, to the first 20 ticket buyers in need. Tickets are only $10 each, and will go on sale February 4th at 3 pm. Look for the 8th graders and reserve a sitter and some tickets!

Steiner Education in Maine

Merriconeag Official LogoIf I will be given a chance to let my children get a prestigious school, I will let them study on a Steiner education like those in Maine like the Merriconeag Waldorf School. Here are the reasons why:

* Waldorf Education Curriculum - it is based on the research on the child development conducted by Austrian educator and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925) which fundamental concept is the recognition that each human being is a unique individual who passes through distinct life stages and that it is the responsibility of education to address the intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each developmental stage.

* Facilities - Merriconeag Waldorf School has four state-of-the-art buildings: an Early Childhood Center, two classroom buildings housing Grades 1 – 8, and a Community Hall for student performances, assemblies and school-wide gatherings.

If in case my child will be enrolled on this institution, I am sure that he will grow to become a great man of the society. By the way I found this video from Merriconeag Waldorf School where the teacher teach French to 10th grade students:
