Dear Alums,
You are our pride and joy and the reason Orchard Valley was created. And you are the embodiment of why it continues to blossom and bloom.
We love seeing you on campus and are thrilled when you are able to attend school events, festivals and graduations. We know you are busy with your new schools, colleges, jobs, internships, travels, performances, research, activism, projects and endeavors of all kinds. We thank you for making and taking the time to visit when you can.
We are ALWAYS interested in hearing from you and learning about your life and adventures! We witnessed your growth every day and such a bond creates lasting ties. We care deeply about your well-being and are always here for you.
Be in touch and let us know anything from a new email address to news you wish to share about yourself or a fellow Alum. You might want to follow us on Instagram or join our Facebook community. However it happens, we would just love to be in touch.
If you’re interested, there are a few ways to get more involved with OVWS.
Please send us your photos from your time here! You can email them to development@ovws.org or contact us for another method.
Can you send us your updated contact information and help find other alumni’ contact information? We’re missing updated emails, addresses, and phone numbers for many alumni.
Would you like to be an alum rep for your class? We’re looking for a couple people from each class to join an occasional online meeting to plan fun events, meet-ups, etc. Email development@ovws.org if you’re interested.
Please be on the lookout for invitations to alumni gatherings and our general OVWS events too! We want to help you stay connected with each other and with us!
Much Love,
Your Orchard Valley Waldorf Community
from our alums - in their own words
“My mom asked me on my first day at school here, 'If there was a machine with a dial from one to ten, with ten being the best and one being the worst, how was your day at Orchard Valley?' And I said, 'It blew up the machine.'“
- Alum (graduated in 2015)
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure no public schools go to a pentathlon and learn to throw javelins, nor do they knit and crochet.”
- Alum (graduated in 2015)
“You were, and still are, like a second mom to me and I cherish my early memories of beeswax…”
- Alum (graduated in 2015)
“In First Grade, I remember trying to dig to China…. If it weren’t for the teachers filling it in, I’m pretty sure we would have made it…”
- Alum (graduated in 2014)
Share your memories and add your Alum voice to our story.
