Grade 5 Pentathlon
This week Grade 5 travelled to Ann Arbor, MI to participate in the Pentathlon with many other Waldorf schools from our region. This is the first time since the spring of 2019 the event was held in person with other schools, making it a particularly important milestone not only for the 5th grade but also for WSP.
“In an age when people have lost much of their innate understanding of childhood and its true relationship to the full course of life, it is important to give to childhood what belongs to it, and not drown it in the din of adult sensibilities. Childhood is the true foundation of our life here in the physical plane, and it is important and right that we pause to mark and celebrate childhood in full flower. That is the ultimate purpose of the Pentathlon.”
