Rudolf Steiner, Motto of Social Ethics, 1920 (at end of first full year of first Waldorf School founded 1919)

The healing social life is found when in the mirror of each human being the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the community the strength of each one is living.

La vida social saludable se encuentra cuando en el espejo de cada ser humano la comunidad entera se encuentra reflejada
y en la comunidad vive la virtud de cada uno.

شفا بخش معاشرتی زندگی اس وقت پائی جاتی ہے جب ہر انسان کے آئینے میں پوری برادری اس کی عکاسی کرتی ہے ، اور جب معاشرے میں ہر ایک کی طاقت زندہ رہتی ہے۔

Shifa baksh muashareti zindagi us waaqt paaye jaati hai jaab haar insaan ka aapne mein puri baradari us ki aaks karti hain, aur jaab muashareti mein haar ek ki taaqat zinda rahti hain.

Heilsam ist nur, wenn Im Spiegel der Menschenseele sich bildet die ganze Gemeinscaft Und in der Gemeinschaft Lebet der Einzel Seele Kraft

尋找到健康之社交生活, 就是當每個人對著鏡子 能從整個社區的影像中找 到自己的反映, 這樣在社區內每人都能活 出精彩。

Statement from Executive Director

"I would like to offer a comment Madame Chair and I would like it to be read in the minutes: We properly posted the agenda 72 hours before 5:00 p.m. on February 1st. There was a problem, a glitch on the part of Board On Track so that between 2:30 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. this morning the electronic agenda was not on view. At 10:15 a.m. that was repaired. I contacted the Executive Director of Charter Schools at Alameda County Office of Education, our authorizer, she advised to proceed. The agenda is properly posted on the schoolhouse door as well. Thank you very much"
