Activity Fees
The supplies and resources for a Waldorf curriculum are beautiful, quality items. From the beeswax crayons and smooth main lesson books, to the violins and wooden flutes, our supplies support programs which we consider essential to the Waldorf curriculum. Parent support is requested for all the activities that make Desert Sky a special place: handwork, choral music, instrumental music, movement class, Pentathlon training, German and Spanish language classes, guest speakers, gardening, and painting, as well as the silks and craft activities of Kindergarten and the festivals. Your donation of an Activity Fee of $300 per student per year, or $30/month of school, is greatly appreciated. Click here to donate by credit card.

Adobe Garden Wall
Thank you Irene Peters and parent volunteers who mixed up adobe! The garden is still partially enclosed by chicken-wire. If you or someone you know would like to take the lead with continuing the adobe work, please contact Shelly at sadrian@desertskycommunityschool.org
With a perimeter fence in place, Desert Sky is ready to expand our classroom use of the outdoor areas! Currently, pop-up ramada tents shade the tables where K-3 students eat. Students themselves are helping to transform their outdoor area, by digging, exploring dirt hills, building play forts, finding fairy homes, singing, planting, and having classes outdoors.
We recently received a grant for developing the outdoor class rooms by building permanent shade structures. Architect Cathy Rex is currently working with Dustin Miller and Little Joe’s Fabrications on the design.
Thanks to Stephen Monroe for the initial water basin plan. Thanks to Bee Ottinger and Stephen Monroe, the curbside basins have been dug! Bee is working on grant funding to complete them and add with landscape plants.
