The Annual Olympics is an event that celebrates Human Excellence and
Grace. Neither of these aspects has anything to do with competition.
To 'compete' with another puts the integrity of the Human being at stake. The central purpose of a Waldorf School is to develop the individuality
of every child and adult. This can only be possible in an environment
where envy and jealousy are not allowed to surface, stealing the joy of
collaborative work. We especially request parents to help us build this
mood of cooperation by appreciating the efforts of all the
children who will partake in the event. We also would invite you to
understand that the Olympics is one final aspect of a long process – Immersing the young children in the real mood of Ancient Greece, where Gods, Mortals and Heroes worked together for the evolution
of the Human Being. Every child is a little Heracles, given the earnestness
with which he or she takes on the tasks set before him or her.
Together, let us celebrate the earnestness and seriousness of purpose evident in EVERY CHILD's efforts and applaud it. We hope you'll join us in making the Olympics a Celebration of
Childhood.
