Bucks for Clucks
$50,000 will help towards the renovations of classrooms for our new campus! One of the many amazing cornerstones of our campus will provide for the cultivation of an animal program, alongside many other arts, science, and outdoor programming.
WHAT THE CLUCK IS BUCKS FOR CLUCKS?
This summer, the egg-ceptional students in our Waldorf Community are working together to raise a "virtual" flock of chickens. Each child will "raise" their chicken by creating their own virtual poultry personality, and by gathering sponsors to contribute and reach levels that follow the steps it takes to raise a real chicken. If they can reach each individual goal of $1000, they will receive their "Free Range Thinker" Tee-Shirt for style points. All proceeds raised from Bucks For Clucks will contribute to our larger capital campaign (see below).
EGG BREAKING NEWS! Our first $5000 raised will be matched by an anonymous chicken friend! Bok-bok!
WHAT EGGS-ACTLY ARE WE HATCHING?
As we speak, the Waldorf Community, supported by Tahoe Truckee Waldorf, is building a long term home in Truckee on a beautiful 40 acre campus. The ultimate goal of this campus, is to create life long learning opportunities for the children of our schools, our local community, and a larger global audience. Gardening, education, health, wellness, arts, sciences, farming, are just a few of the programmatic ideas we want to bring to life.
Part of our campus will be establishing gardens and a farm, so we can learn lessons while raising our own food products, as well as learning about the plant and animal kingdom. An essential part of any farm is the chicken flock. Chickens provide eggs and meat for us humans, but also consume some of our waste products, and we can also use their waste to amend our garden soil and grow better fruit and vegetables.
This fundraiser is one of our very first to introduce you to our campus, our goals and our community, as well as a way to have our children engage in life lessons and a fun community contribution. All the proceeds will go to building our school.
