MidWeek Messenger
May 18, 2011
Dear KWS Community,
This edition of the Midweek Messenger is all about the seniors! We’re so proud of who they
are and what they’re doing, and we hope you’ll take the time to find out more about them.
Our seniors have experienced a high level of success in college acceptances this year. Merit
awards (which are based on a student’s grade point average, recommendations and achievements,
rather than financial aid) for the Class of 2011 totaled more than half a million dollars.
Please read pages six and seven for the full report on our seniors. Some of our students will
be attending college in the fall and some intend to take a gap year. We congratulate all of our
seniors on their fine work and wish them all the best!
In this issue, we also feature three senior essays: “Dawn” by Alexis Bacon, “The Sleepover”
by Angier Cooper, and “My Symphony” by Aaron Liss.
Don’t miss the Senior Play, Our Town and The Laramie Project (appropriate for grade seven
and up) on May 19, 20 and 21 at 7pm in the Lower School Theatre. Be sure to say goodbye
to our seniors at Graduation on June 11 at 2 p.m. in the High School Gym.
Amongst other exciting news at KWS, we currently have thirteen students visiting from a
Waldorf school in Poland. They are studying alongside our seventh grade.
We hope you have also had a chance to visit the parent initiated Coffee Cart that is held on
Friday mornings outside the Gym. There will be one this coming Friday from 8-9am.
As always, we on the Governing Team want to hear how you feel we’re doing! Please stop in
on a Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:15 pm in the Middle School Conference Room, or call

Set in 1901, in rustic Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, Thornton Wilder’s Our Town paints a
sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always quirky picture of small town life at the turn of the
last century. The play follows the lives of the town’s eclectic mix of characters, while focusing
on the budding romance of two of the town’s youngest and brightest - George Gibbs and Emily
Webb. By tracing their story as they grow up together, fall in love, and start a family together,
Wilder emphasizes the importance of the little things in life, the parts of us that, in death, remain
eternal or are forgotten.
The Laramie Project is an ambitious enterprise conceived by members of the Tectonic Theater
Project in response to the death of Matthew Shepherd, whose homophobic murder incited a
worldwide response. The play is presented in a series of interviews between members of the
Tectonic Theater Project and citizens of Laramie, Wyoming, the town near which Matthew was
killed. With perspectives ranging among Matthews family, the perpetrators’ families, and
townspeople who simply had a thing or two to say about the murder, The Laramie Project
provides crucial insight into an event that shocked the world.

The May Faire; Saturday, May 7, 2011
By Patricia Blench
On a Saturday morn we all came together,
And Oh! my gosh! what beautiful weather.
The children pranced and danced on the grass,
Parents and teachers worked hard and worked fast,
Yogurt and strawberries soon were all gone,
Cakes and cookies didn’t last for very long,
The colorful sails on the wee boats were ready,
Four strong lads kept the boat-board steady,
Pizza and spritzers were a delicious snack,
The children giggled and roared within a sack,
As they hopped and raced and had such fun.
And then the Kingsessing Morris Men had come
To show and share their skills and raps,
The day did pass without mishaps.
Into French Creek the boats were set
With parents, children and the rest,
Thank you dear parents, dear children, dear all,
The day was such fun, we all had a ball!

Dawn: A Senior Essay
by Alexis Bacon,12th Grade
As the streetlights slowly blink off in the street below and the hushed dawn turns the sky from a dull
gray to an expectant bluish pink, I sit, perched on the wide windowsill yet again, awaiting the pigeon
woman’s return. Wrapped in a blanket and the comforting peacefulness of an early morning, I wipe
the sleep out of my eyes and peer hopefully down at the flat, dingy rooftop a few stories beneath me,
bathed in morning mist. Our twelfth-story hotel room provides a stunning view of New York City, but I
am not looking at the endless panorama of skyscrapers with the Empire State Building perched like a
cherry on top, all magically coming to life. In all its glittering glory, New York City is breath-taking, yet
in my mind the pigeon woman stands above all its wonders. That is why I am sitting by the window
now, nose pressed against the glass, waiting.
Eventually a dark figure emerges from a door leading to the rooftop beneath me. This figure gradually
becomes visible in the light morning mist. Her frizzled gray hair is pulled into a degree of order by the
shawl wrapped tightly around her head. Slowly hobbling across the rooftop, she clutches a large sack
of seeds, blinking groggily in the morning light. This is the pigeon woman. I huddle closer to the window.
Grabbing a handful of seeds from the sack, she splays her fingers, making hundreds of seeds
fly across the roof and bounce against the hard rooftop. She continues this motion as if she is dancing
while the grain continues to bounce around her like small raindrops.
Suddenly, she looks into the soft morning sky. I follow her gaze. Dozens of pigeons are circling above,
slowly descending towards the rooftop. Eventually the woman is surrounded in a whirlpool of beating
wings; as if the pigeons are displaying their appreciation. She looks up at these pigeons, stretches
her arms out towards them and smiles. Slowly, the pigeons alight on the rooftop and begin to peck at
the seeds, their glossy wings reflecting the glistening dawn.
As suddenly as the pigeons come, they leave, fading into the shimmering morning mist. Left standing
on that small, grimy rooftop, overlooking the vast city, the pigeon woman’s frail frame is illumined
by the mystical light of the rising sun as the city wakes below and the first taxis circle the streets. She
seems so forlorn and vulnerable; her posture is slouched and all the joy in her body is gone. I can’t
imagine that anyone would have such a strong attachment to pigeons if they weren’t lonely or isolated
from humanity. Few in the city seem to notice the pigeons or the dawning of a new day during
their rushed lives. Yet, the pigeon woman appreciates, loves and embraces nature because it can fill
the emptiness created by the solitude in her life. Perhaps she assumes that only the pigeons understand
her, the pigeons that seem to bring her such joy. I desperately want to help her, a flickering light
seemingly lost in the galaxy of New York City.
Tears stream down my face as I lean against the smudged window. I realize, as the pigeon woman
hobbles back across the rooftop, closing the heavy door to the stairs behind her, that I am like her.
Suddenly I can see that I can be sad, lonely and often reach out to nature to fill an emptiness I sometimes
feel, making me different. This realization makes me feel disappointed with myself, irritated
by my isolation. I cry for myself and I cry for the pigeon woman. But as my tears roll slowly off my
cheeks, I recognize that although these qualities may separate me from others at times, they may
also help me to translate to the world how important and healing nature is in our lives. Looking out at
the sun between the skyscrapers, I understand that today has been the dawn of acknowledging who I
am, and I promise to make the most of that person. I hope that I will change the world in a small way,
bringing joy and purpose into my own life, just as the pigeon woman has. Above all, I promise myself
that I will always notice the dawns in life.

College News and Merit Scholarships
College acceptances and merit scholarships continue to arrive in the mailboxes of our
seniors, who have experienced a high level of success in college acceptances this year. Many
have received merit scholarships, which are based on a student’s grade point average,
recommendations and achievements, rather than on financial need. (Please note that many
elite colleges do not award merit scholarships and only grant need-based aid.) Scholarship
awards are listed below per year at the college the student will attend. Merit awards totaled
more than half a million dollars for the Class of 2011.
Students were required to commit to colleges by May 1st. Their choices are listed below.
Some intend to take a gap year, and we are pleased to share their plans with you as well.
We congratulate all our seniors on their fine work and wish them all the best!

The Sleepover: A Senior Essay
by Angier Cooper, 12th Grade
Sleep teases me as the cool Indian night breeze stings my face and seeps through my thin layers. I
hear the lost barks of stray dogs outside the half open window, the scurrying of mysterious creatures
beyond the steel door, and the irritating buzz of mosquitoes. Most importantly, I listen to the silence
of the petite, delicate fifty-year-old Indian woman who has fallen asleep in her beloved blue gingham
apron.
Her name is Vasanti, and in my opinion, she is the most strong-willed woman in Sadhana Village, a
residential community for adults with special needs. Recuperating from a three-month illness, Vasanti
remains physically frail, especially in the middle of the night when she wakes up needing the bathroom.
The year-long volunteers have rotated each night with her. Tonight Swenia strongly expresses
her wish to skip her turn. Spontaneously, out of compassion for my new friend and curiosity, I surprise
Swenia and myself by offering to experience this unique sleepover.
I settle into Vasanti’s undersized room with only vague instructions. Amidst my apprehension, I doze.
The barely audible mummers of Vasanti, as she struggles to push her hunched torso up, stir me from
my sleep. Our eyes lock, as she determinedly points her permanently-crooked forefinger at the commode
just inside the door. She transfers her weight into my outstretched arms without hesitation. We
manage impressively, considering my inexperience, though only because in these few minutes she
grants me, an almost stranger, her trust.
With the middle-of-the-night mission complete, we are back at her bed. Vasanti curls up as if to fall
asleep, but her twinkling eyes restlessly wander the room. Wondering if the cold breeze is the culprit,
I gently cover Vasanti with a navy blue blanket, tucking one end just under her small, long face with a
prominent chin. Her eyes inform me that I am mistaken.
My anxiety rises, as I tip-toe around the mattress, her eyes following my every move. I cross the
room. Nothing! Nervously, I question if I should wake up Swenia, though I push that thought to the
corner of my mind. I walk to Vasanti’s side, as if to read her unusual silence and sudden unhappiness,
hoping she will communicate with me. I will not understand the ancient Hindu dialect Vasanti speaks,
yet I want her to try. To my dismay, she does not speak a single Maharashtrian word, even though
during the day Vasanti is repeatedly asked to find peace and silence. As I kneel down beside her, the
four tips of my right fingers brush something on the cold granite floor.
Lifting the corner of the mattress, I spot a short dark blue lead pencil with a dull tip. Hesitantly, I rest
the pencil in her impatient hand, questioning if I have found the answer. Wrapping her fingers around
the pencil with care, she looks at me as if to say, “Finally, Didi (sister)!” Then Vasanti pulls the blanket
completely over her head. I return to my sleeping bag as the sound of her sleeping dances to my
ears.
While a mosquito persistently circles, I lie awake, watching the life beneath the navy blue blanket,
pondering the power of simplicity. Vasanti’s comfort in the short, dull pencil reminds me never to take
for granted the simplest experiences, emotions, or objects in my life. I am left in awe that something
so insignificant can bring such peace. Most people, including myself would thoughtlessly throw away
such a pencil as the one Vasanti cherishes.
Dawn arrives with the clanging of sugar cane trucks on the nearby road. Then, as seven o’clock
draws near, Vasanti’s head emerges like a turtle from beneath the blanket. Her face lights up as it
meets my gaze. My heart seizes a snapshot, and I cannot help but smile with affection.

My Symphony: A Senior Essay
By Aaron Liss, 12th Grade
A song is inside me waiting to be found. I shut my eyes, place my hands on the smooth ivory keys,
and search for familiar melodies. Bach’s “Prelude in C” drifts into my thoughts, interrupting my reverie.
A sense of rightness fills me when I think of the arpeggios of Bach’s little masterpiece. With my
fingers on the keys, the simple dreamy song Bach might have imagined rushes out. Each note hurries
out on its predecessor’s heels, pushing forward, desperate to be heard. I accent every discord,
heighten every crescendo, giving the piece a sense of urgency that wasn’t inherent in its composition.
The beautiful simplicity is distorted to reflect me in this moment.
I’m not at all happy with how my day has gone, nor with how I’m playing Bach’s prelude, but still I
hurry faster and faster. Suddenly the song is over, although I’m not. I must play more, because I can
speak through music with a clarity that I cannot find with words. The songs are the movements of my
symphony, distinct yet connected.
I relax my shoulders a bit and search for another piece. A fragment of Rachmaninoff escapes through
my fingertips, dark and clashing, suiting my mood perfectly. Merely showing my feelings is not
enough, however; I need to change them into emotions I’m more comfortable with. The fragment
ends as quickly as it began, and I dive straight into “Rustles of Spring.”
I’m sure Christian Sinding meant for the song to express when early spring is first stirring from winter
lethargy and beginning to bloom, but what I need is its speed to rid myself of tension. I start out
frenzied, but not accelerated, magnifying each dip into minor and diminishing each return to major.
However, such a shallow interpretation of “Rustles of Spring” achieves nothing. I open my eyes, slow
down to keep my technique accurate and build the song up as I imagine it instead of using it to tear
down my frustration. This mere act of creation is quieting. The subtle shift in mindset means that my
ending is more accepting than my earlier prelude.
Not knowing what to feel or what my next movement might be, I rest my hands on the keyboard.
Without conscious thought, I begin “A River Flows in You” by Yiruma, a piece of pure expression
through interpretation. I start slowly, with numerous pauses to give each phrase its own meaning and
power undiluted by rushing, and create layers around the delicate beginning. Then melody returns,
more intricate than before. With each variation of the melody, the song grows, until it culminates with
a new understanding of the first phrases. I delicately pick out each vulnerable note. Fragile as it is
powerful, “A River Flows in You” is my creation: I can say who I am with this song more clearly than
almost any other. At the end I take a deep, shuddering breath to steady myself.
As the last chord fades, “Moonlight Sonata” coalesces out of the echoes. My eyes close and my
mind rests as the first somber notes of my last movement sound, as they have for me so many times
before that I can just let my hands move without interference from my mind. Having let go of my frustration
and composed myself, I express and accept exactly what I feel without the twisting of words.
Each note, discord, and resolution is carefully highlighted and built upon the last. The top melody
rings out while the bass supports it. I barely need to listen to the music for I’m playing what is already
inside of me. The song ends by drifting into the bass, the foundation. The treble plays itself out,
wrapping deeper and deeper until all I hear is the final, defining low C#. It is a cathartic note, allowing
me to accept what has happened and to let it be. It doesn’t judge or make demands; it just is. I play
the final chords, letting my emotions follow them to silence.

Notes from the Office
Dear Parents,
TRAFFIC SAFETY: This explanation of the guidelines for drop-off and pick-up appeared in the
Midweek Messenger a few years ago. Please review it and help us to keep everyone safe and
the traffic flowing at morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. Thank you.
• The circle (between the Lower School and the gym) is our primary drop-off and pick-up point for car
riders. Please pull all the way to the front of the lane so that others can drop off students within this
area without a long wait, follow the circle of cars around in line to prevent traffic jams, and ask your
child(ren) to exit from the passenger side.
• During morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, a teacher is posted at the pedestrian crosswalk
across the circle driveway to direct the flow of traffic and people. This is the only crossing area to be
used by pedestrians – we ask that no one cross the drive at any other place, and that drivers be
attentive to the crosswalk guard’s signals.
• If you need to stop longer than the brief time to drop off or pick up your child(ren), please park in
the Visitor Parking Lot in front of the High School or the Student Parking Lot to the west of the High
School. Then come to the crosswalk or the classroom to meet your child(ren) and accompany them
to your car – we strongly discourage parents waiting for their children in the parking lot.
• Please don’t park along the side of the driveway leading down to the circle or in the bus lane leading
to and in front of the High School, especially during school assemblies on noon dismissal days. This
is the bus lane.
• During school hours, please don’t leave your car in the circle parking lot between the Lower School
and the gym. This is a recess play area.
• Kindergarten parents, please park in the lower lot near the Middle School and drop off or pick up
your child in the Kindergarten building. Please don’t park in the wide area of the drive between
buildings.
• And one last reminder: Please don’t leave your car unattended with the engine running at any time.

International Eurythmy Studies is extremely excited to announce their graduation performance in
the Rose Hall, Camphill Village Kimberton on Sunday, June 19th, at 4 pm. Im-pulse Eurythmy is a
unique configuration of 9 Waldorf graduates, five from Brazil and four from the U.S.A., who followed a
deep passion for eurythmy in order to help inaugurate a 3-year, full-time professional eurythmy training,
directed by Markus and Andrea Weder. Studying in the U.S.A., Brazil, and Switzerland, we are
striving to bring youthful joy, energy, and light to make new discoveries in the limitless capacities of
eurythmy. Im-pulse Eurythmy just participated at the end of April in the Impulse Festival (name being
completely coincidental) at Rudolf Steiner College in California. This proved to us to be an unbelievably
encouraging example of sharing eurythmy in the context of other young, inspired, anthroposophical
initiatives. One message from this Impulse Festival concerned the morality in the act of giving and
how this leads to acting intuitively and freely. It is in this spirit of giving that we enthusiastically come
to share our studies and work with you in June! Our graduation program, entitled “Among Burning
Flowers,” includes music and poetry from a vast landscape of time and place, weaving together old
and new into a fabric diverse and richly colored. Poetry includes sonnets from John Donne and e.e.
cummings, dramatic poetry from T.S. Eliot, a native american folk-tale poeticized by David Wagoner,
and other works from e.e. cummings and Dag Hammarskjold. Music includes a 5 part fugue from J.S.
Bach, Cello Sonata by Samuel Barber, pieces by Claude Debussy, modern music from Japanese
composer Toru Takemitsu, and a fiery work for cello and piano by Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera.
We look forward to seeing you and sharing with you the artistic fruits of our labors!

July Conference at Camphill Village-Kimberton Hills: Movement for Musical Renewal
A Summer Intensive in Technique, Repertoire, and Ensemble July 19–23, 2011 ~ Kimberton
Hills, Pennsylvania. The Lyre Association of North America will hold its summer conference at Camphill
Village–Kimberton Hills, beginning on Tuesday evening, July 19, through noon on Saturday, July
23. Gerhard Beilharz, renowned pedagogue, composer, and published author from Germany, will be
the featured artist/presenter. Gerhard has devoted his life to developing and deepening the musical
possibilities of working with new instruments in our time, including the lyre. This will be a conference
for all ages and abilities and will include adults with special needs as well as young people. It will be
a “hands on” event, in the spirit of a learning camp, dedicated to giving participants the opportunity to
hone their musical skills through a focus on technique, tone production, improvisation, and reading,
as well as ensemble playing, singing, and movement work. Participants will have a chance to do specialized
work in small groups that are appropriate to their ability and experience, in addition to working
in a large group on pieces designed for all participants. As always, beginner lyre players are very
welcome! (Lyres will be provided as needed.) We are compiling a list of local hosts for conference
lodging. Participants will pay $30/person/night ($120 for a 4-night stay in a private home) for bed and
breakfast, July 19-22. Please contact Margo Ketchum at mketchum@verizon.net or 610-608-9281 if
you can offer housing in and around Kimberton. The Lyre Association welcomes all who wish to work
intensively together this summer to nurture social connections, strengthen skills, and inspire ongoing
work through joyfully making music together! We hope very much that many of you will be able to join
us!

Help! We are moving overseas and must find a new home for our pets. These our our ‘boys’.
James is on the left and Fred is on the right. They are both
declawed, neutered indoor cats. They still love to snuggle
together - the colder the weather, the closer they get. They
will make themselves scarce around people under 5 feet
tall, but are friendly and affectionate when the house is
calm and quiet. They are very well behaved and have never
missed the litter box. They are used to being bossed around
by an elderly 8 lb. female cat. James and Fred are brothers
from the same litter and have always been together. We are
looking for an “open adoption” - i.e. a chance for the kids to
visit them once or twice before we move. We wish we could take them with us to Singapore, but it
is just not possible. They would have to endure a 20 hour flight & several months in quarantine. For
more information please contact Karen Horan at 484-888-6488 or KarenAnnHoran@mac.com.

My name is Dr. Jim Schaffer. My wife, Lisa and I recently opened Kimberton Chiropractic in, yep,
you guessed it, Kimberton. We are right on Rt 113 across from Genuardi’s. At our office, we help
people get out of pain and get them feeling better so they can enjoy their daily living. But what really
gets all of us excited is correcting your Spine so that your Nervous System is working at 100%.
If your Nervous System is working at 100% all the messages from your brain that travel through the
spinal cord (inside in the spine) are getting to all the organs and tissues in your body and telling them
to operate at peak performance. But if your spine is out of alignment, then those messages are not
getting through at 100%. Maybe they are getting through at 80% or maybe even only at 50%. Well if
that is the case, certain parts of your body may not be working at 100%. We have seen cases where
a patient may be suffering from terrible digestive problems, even Crones, and after an exam we realize
that their Spine in the Lumbar area is way out of alignment. We have seen kids with allergies and
asthma so intense that they are “regulars” at the ER. After a thorough exam we determine that their
Cervical spine is so out of alignment that the muscles are rock solid around it. The child doesn’t
complain because this world of pain, and
medication and doctors is all they know.
Correcting these misalignments is what we do!
We have the good fortune to see, with our
own eyes, lives be restored. Children running
for touchdowns that previously couldn’t run
across the yard! This is what we do and we
love it! If you or anyone you know has a health
problem that is controlling their lives, call our
office, or just stop in, and we can tell you if
perhaps Chiropractic can help give that
control back to you. 484-947-1069.
