The Roadies Varsity Soccer Team stood out in the TAPPS Soccer Invitational tournament, achieving a commendable 3 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie record. Standout moments featured goals from River Jones and Moritz Kunz, and outstanding goalkeeping by Alexis Hunt. The team demonstrated resilience and budding talent, setting the stage for an upcoming thrilling season. Mark your calendars for the next game on September 7th at Chinquapin and the first home game on Friday, September 13th at 6:30 pm.

Last Friday was a day of joy and connection at Austin Waldorf School!

Our 1st graders had an incredible time playing early childhood games with the 12th graders, followed by sharing a delicious popsicle treat together.

At Austin Waldorf, the bond between our youngest and oldest students is truly special. Throughout the year, our 12th graders and 1st graders come together to celebrate the beginning and end of their respective journeys. The 1st graders embark on their Waldorf adventure, while the 12th graders reflect on how far they’ve come as they near the completion of their own.

These moments of connection and mentorship are what make our community so unique.

The High School Volleyball team competed last weekend in the TAPPS Spikedown Tournament in Forth Worth, and they came home as Champions of the Bronze Bracket. Congratulations to the team!

Come out and support the Roadies at our next home game - it’s are great family fun activity.

Celebrating Kindness at Camp!

This Wednesday, we celebrated Camp Kindness Day with so much joy! As we soaked up the fun of camp life, we took a moment to ask our campers what kindness means to them. Their answers truly warmed our hearts:

For some, kindness is lending a helping hand to a friend who's feeling down. For others, it's about filling our camp with laughter and smiles, spreading happiness wherever we go. Many shared that seeing fellow campers and counselors cheer each other on and support one another is the ultimate act of kindness.

Now we want to hear from you! In the comments below, share what kindness means to you and your family. How do you spread kindness in your community? Let's inspire each other to make kindness a part of our everyday lives!

This past week, our campers at Camp Roadrunner embarked on an extraordinary journey through the ages, exploring the wonders of history and the thrilling possibilities of the future. From crafting their own landscapes from Lewis and Clark to creating their own time capsules, each day was a new chapter in our exploration of time.

In our Summer Garden, our campers explored the element of water. Building tunnels and rivers in the sand and watching where the water goes was only the beginning of the fun.

Thank you to all our adventurers for making this week unforgettable! Your creativity and enthusiasm have truly transcended time. Stay curious, and keep exploring!
