At the Anchorage Waldorf School (AWS) baking starts in our Early Childhood classrooms with making bread and continues in the Grades woven throughout blocks of study. Some examples include drying apples in Grade 1, using harvested vegetables for soups and salads in Grades 2 and 3, baking for fractions in Grades 4 and 5, making ethnic dishes during Russian studies and making truffles for class fundraisers in Middle School. From Fall through Spring, our students and community engage and utilize our school kitchen daily. With all of this use, our AWS kitchen is desperately in need of some updates. All Aventurine the Dragon Raffle proceeds will go toward the AWS Baking Supplies and Kitchen Upgrade (mixing bowls, utensils, baking sheets and new stove).

We give our heartfelt appreciation to our incredible donors whose unwavering generosity and support played a vital role in helping AWS achieve its 2023 Annual Giving goal. Your commitment to education and community is truly inspiring, and we extend our deepest thanks for making a lasting impact on our school’s success.
