THE BULLETIN
2015: To A Very Good Year
by Dr. William D. Macatee / Administrative Director
W
e can all agree that the winter months have taken
hold, with their stiff winds, our first snow day,
and freezing temperatures. Yet, each morning at
the 79th Street building, I am greeted by the smiling faces of
excited parents and students, who consider arriving at school
to be one of the high points of their day. The classrooms are
warm and inviting, and each child is welcomed to his or
her special place as a member of the community. Nursery
through grade six is ready to greet the morning with verse. “In the course of his development as a child, there
comes the moment in the life of a man when for
the first time he feels himself to be an independent
being distinct from all the rest of the world.” —rudolf steiner
While all this is happening on 79th Street, the upper school
building on 78th Street has already gotten started with
middle and high school students arriving with coffee and
bagels in hand, their eyes just beginning to welcome the
light rising up over the East River. No longer being dropped
off at school by parents, guardians, and caregivers, the
students entering the 78th Street building are still warmly
greeted by their advisors and teachers sharing questions and
answers about homework, special projects, and news about
college acceptances being shared in the common room. The second half of the school year promises to be a
joyous and prosperous one, and we’re off to a great start. share Joe Robertson’s charming article with them. I’m
sure they’ll find our Parent-Child Program extraordinary.
It’s my greatest hope that you will take a few minutes to sit
down with a cup of tea and read this issue of The Bulletin.
I especially enjoyed learning more about our sixth graders
and their October trip to the farm. What exuberance
they showed as they navigated even the narrowest of rock
slits. And, speaking of rocks, our own 8th grader Ashima
Shiraishi shares the story of her affinity for climbing even
the steepest grades in Between a Rock and a Great Place.
Finally, if you know parents who have a two-year old, please
As always, thank you for entrusting us with your children’s
care, and thank you for partnering with us in their ongoing
education. We are committed to each child’s social,
emotional, and intellectual development, and we will
continue to work with them as they bring into being what
is the best in each of them. 

THE BULLETIN
Stories for our Parent-Child Program
by Joe Robertson / Parent-Child Program
W
hen creating stories for two-year-olds or
younger, I am always wondering what is
needed for these children at this time.
What words and pictures will meet the mysterious
imaginative forces, forces that will soon command
their play? To what degree are the children
imitative of the imposing images and stimuli from
the endless media in our modern field of vision and
daily life? How might I create and speak the most
developmentally nourishing stories? No matter the
complexity of the questions, the beneficial stories
always render themselves into the simplest of
heartfelt journeys.
I present here three basic story forms for the
youngest children in a group setting. One is the
no-words-spoken story. This is a full experience,
using audible deep breaths to depict the puppet’s
short journey. The Bear Sighting (next page) is
an example. The bear is a loved animal that is on
purpose lumbering into her world. I connect as
fully as I can to the imagination of this bear foraging
for food. She is working and resting, thoughtfully
breathing, even sighing. I seek to have a rich,
detailed inner picture of the moment I am sharing.
My breath is the living moment of this animal
with no separation between the bear, the children,
and me. With intent it lives in our imaginations.
The children are transported and soothed by this
gentlest of stories and the quiet that allows for
group stillness. Having no words spoken allows
those children with delayed speech to experience
a belonging they might not otherwise sense. And
for children who are excessively verbal, this may
give them a much-needed embodied pause.

THE BULLETIN
Stories for our Parent-Child Program
[Continued from previous page]
Good Night, Baby Bear
Another story form that supports the youngest child is a
spoken moment. I might choose just a piece of the longer
Good Night, Baby Bear Story (right). I will bring to life just
the meal, getting sleepy and going to bed, or Mommy and
Daddy out digging, or as little as the baby bear playing and
rolling. Any segment can be portrayed with joy and a sense
of completeness.
Once upon a time, the great forest was still asleep under
a blanket of snow.
Atop the icy mountain, in their snug cave, lived three bears;
Mommy bear, daddy bear and baby bear.
One day, the mommy bear and the daddy bear
ventured out to gather food.
Daddy and Mommy lumbered away into the forest.
They went up hills
And down hills
Their big, leathery paws slid on ice
And overturned craggy rocks.
They dug in the frozen earth
Eventually, I build our story time into what is more recognizable
as a traditional offering with a beginning, middle, and end. I will
use more and more verbal language and reverent interaction
between the characters to portray this third story form. Good
Night, Baby Bear in its entirety is an example. With the youngest
children the “no-fail plot” is as follows: referencing the wide
world; our characters are home; they go outside into the
season; they interact/play/work; they return home; everyone is
together; they share a warm meal; they sleep; all is well. It is a
lovely, wholehearted tale that says, “life is good.”
Stories devoted to delighting the children and developing a
strong imagination will serve them their entire life. 
Bear Sighting
(No Words Spoken)
Bear appears. Pauses. Looks about. Lumbers along.
Breathes deeply, evenly. Digs. Lumbers along. Sighs.
Digs. Eats. Breathes. Lumbers off.

Again they went up hills and down hills.
All the while in the cave, baby bear rolled and played,
And wondered, “Where are my mommy and daddy?”
Just then Mommy bear and Daddy bear arrived home.
How happy they were to be together again.
It was time for dinner. They all ate together.
They ate until their tummies were full.

THE BULLETIN
A Sixth Grade Caving Adventure
by Dr. Linda Ogden-Wolgemuth / 6th Grade Class Teacher
T
his past October, the sixth grade class made its fourth
week-long trip to the Hawthorne Valley Farm, where the
students enjoyed caring for farm animals such as cows,
pigs, and chickens; harvesting and cooking their own food; and
learning tracking and agribusiness skills. In between the hard
work, there was plenty of relaxation time spent both indoors and
out, depending upon the weather and time of day.
To augment their studies of geology, the class spent an
afternoon in the nearby Clarksville Cave, during which
they crawled through narrow spaces and negotiated
through waist-deep water and rock-strewn pathways. Our
knowledgeable leader and guide, Steve Lewanick, helped us
to prepare, experience, and process the entire journey. Not
only was it physically challenging, it was also emotionally
charged. Every participant, whether child or adult, had to
confront and overcome fear or frustration at different times,
and each one learned more about themselves and others in
the process. [Before- and After-Caving photos (right)].
Here are some of the students’ thoughts on the day, in their
own words:
Julia: “When we got to the cave parking lot, we had to get ready
to go in the cave. At the farm, Steve had given us our gear. We had
a helmet, a knee pad, a headlight, and rubber gloves. We hiked
to the cave entrance, which was a small sinkhole. One by one, we
climbed down the hole. The hole opened up to a giant room that
is known as The Big Room. Once we were all in and sitting down,
Steve told us to turn our lights out and experience total darkness.
I couldn’t tell if my eyes were opened or closed!”
William: “I think being in total darkness is going to stay
with me forever.”
Yeraz: “My greatest challenge was the army crawl because I was
getting very frustrated when I began feeling enclosed. I thought
to myself, ‘There is no way I can turn around; I have to finish.’
Even though I was getting smushed and uncomfortable, it was
worth it in the end.”
February/March 2015 Rocco: “My favorite part was the water fight because Steve
started it even though he is 60 years old! That’s not something
you see everyday!”
Maximilian: “In the cave, I learned (briefly) how it felt to be
blind and how scary that is…I also learned that acidic water
tastes disgusting.”
Lucia: The experience I had in the cave will help me not to be
afraid to do anything in life, and to have fun.”
Niko: The caving trip really made me start thinking about other
people. In the future, I will always keep one thought with me: that
little things make a big difference to other people. I learned that I
belong to a really nice, grateful and compassionate group of kids.
I learned that I can stop being scared when I want to. I am very
thankful to be in a class with such a nice teacher and students.”
I am very grateful to my supportive trip chaperones, Brian Kaplan
and Katie Parker, and to the capable staff at Hawthorne Valley
Farm, as well as the talented guides from Ascents of Adventure in
Albany, and to my delightful class for such a memorable trip. 

THE BULLETIN
Between a Rock and a Great Place
by Ashima Shiraishi / 8th Grade Student
For eighth grader Ashima Shiraishi, climbing is in her blood. Ashima began climbing when she was just six years old. Her first
climb? Red Rock in Central Park. Ashima, who climbs almost daily after school with rope and free solo, says she has fallen many
times but, like most things, there’s the right way to fall—and the wrong way. “There’s an art to falling,” Ashima says, “and I know
how to fall!” Most days, you’ll find Ashima climbing after school, and spending each and every vacation climbing the mountains
of Europe, Japan, and South Africa. Two upcoming goals are to climb Yosemite and a range near Melbourne, Australia. And
that’s not all: She wants to compete in a bouldering competition as part of the World Cup (she has to turn 16 first) and do more
TEDx Teen Talks (she spoke at her first one in the fall at the O2 Theater in London). Still, Ashima remains humble about her
ongoing journey – even when she is speaking with the New York Times. Read on as Ashima tells her story in her own words:
I
still remember the first day that I began to climb as if
it was yesterday. It was in the heart of New York City’s
Central Park in 2007. When I was six-years old, I would go
to a playground every day after school. One summer day, I
noticed people climbing the rocks that were right next to the
playground. There was a certain flow to it, which intrigued
me and made me want to try it. After that day, I fell in love
with the sport, and it replaced my daily routine of going to
the playground.
A year later, I was able to win my first climbing competition
in a local climbing gym. And during the same year, I went
to the Youth Nationals and won in my category. After my
victory, the spotlight was shone on me, and I received my first
sponsorship. Rock climbing was no longer a hobby for me but
a passion. The following year included traveling to different
places in the country and competing at more competitions.
beautiful places all over the world and do what I love. My
current sponsors include The North Face (clothing), Petzl
(equipment), Evolv (shoes), Clif Bar (energy bars), and
Sterling (loops).
I feel both grateful and honored to be living this lifestyle;
however, there are also many challenges and sacrifices
included. One of them is homework. I usually climb five or six
days per week from 3:45-8:00 PM, and each night I get to my
homework after 9:00. This means that I’m often still awake at
1:00 AM working on my homework. The lack of sleep affects
my climbing and my schoolwork; however I cope with it. I also
have to sacrifice hanging out with friends or going on trips. It’s
rather painful to hear great memories from friends while being
away. But, the joy and the rush of excitement that I feel when
I’m on the rocks is something that I would never trade. 
At age eight, I broke a record, which really shook things up
and inspired me to keep on pushing myself forward. The
following year I was able to break a new record, which was
included in a famous climbing film. This film was played at
many film festivals all over the world! Right before my 11th
birthday, I was able to break a new world record, which was
witnessed by a New York Times journalist who wrote a neat
article about me. The following years, leading up to 2015,
have been filled with many successes as well. I am currently
working with a filmmaker on a documentary, which has been
an amazing experience. My sponsors allow me to travel to

THE BULLETIN
In Memoriam: Nancy and John Root
T
he Rudolf Steiner School community shares with
sadness the passing of Nancy and John Root, longtime members of the Steiner faculty. After 66 years
of marriage, they died within 13 days of each other.
John Jr., in his reminiscences, shared:
John G. Root, April 20, 1925 - June 29, 2014
Nancy M. Root, September 25, 1925 - July 12, 2014
They touched, and inspired, a vast circle of students
and friends. They are well remembered by many at the
Rudolf Steiner School, and will be missed in the world of
Anthroposophy.
John and Nancy were married on March 21, 1948 at
the Rudolf Steiner School in NYC. Their three children,
John Jr., Ann Elizabeth, and Christina Jamison, attended
Steiner. John taught in the Humanities department at
the Steiner High School for 26 years. His lovely singing
voice and youthful personality are only two of the gifts
he brought to his work. John’s favorite courses were
Parzival, Ancient Philosophy, and Mechanical Drawing
with Perspective. Nancy, the first Eurythmist trained in
America, taught and performed Eurythmy for the Rudolf
Steiner School. She was deeply involved in the founding
of the Eurythmy Association of North America, as well as
the Performing Arts Section in America. Both John and
Nancy were immersed in the branch work of the NYC
Anthroposophical Society. After they left Steiner, their
ongoing devotion to Anthroposophy and the threefold
social order led to the founding of the Community
Supported Agriculture farm on Jug End Road, in what
is now Berkshire Village in the Berkshires. They leave
behind, in addition to their children, a generous family
of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
February/March 2015 “Johnny and Nancy were pioneers, visionaries, of the
social future.”

Nancy’s funerals, please find them on John Jr’s website:
