We, at Mountain Oak School, are extremely happy and blessed to introduce our new principal, Miss Cindy Roe.

Miss Roe comes to us from Cottonwood with many years of Waldorf experience, both as a teacher and an administrator. Her son, (Silver) has been in our school for the past few years and is presently in our eight grade. You may know her from festivals and other school activities.

The summer-time process to bring her here included Board members doing volunteer administrative work, and a local search for an Acting Administrator. That process was superseded by the appearance, in August, of two qualified candidates. We then completed a regular search process and offered the position to Miss Roe. She has accepted it and we are thrilled. Faculty and board support her unanimously.

It is a wonderful experience to have the entire group of full-time teachers and every member of the Board come together behind the same person. We are very excited to go into this new school year with that sense of common purpose.

Please introduce yourself to Miss Roe and giver her a warm Mountain Oak welcome!

To wonder at beauty,
Stand guard over truth,
Look up to the noble,
Resolve on the good:
This leadeth us truly,
To purpose in living,
To right in our doing,
To peace in our feeling,
To light in our thinking;
And teaches us trust,
In the working of Creation,
In all that there is,
In the width of the world,
In the depths of the soul.

- Rudolf Steiner
