- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) May 18, 2012 - The Green Meadow Waldorf School community is invited to attend the dedication ceremony for Rose Hall on Friday, May 25th, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Earlier this year, Green Meadow opened the extensively renovated Arts Building on its campus. The construction of Rose Hall was at the heart of the changes and the theater will be officially dedicated this month.
"This celebration marks not only a milestone for Green Meadow, but for the surrounding community as well," said Vicki Larson, Green Meadow Waldorf School's Director of Communications and Marketing. "We are thrilled to dedicate this building, which serves as a performance hall for our school community and has already housed symphonies, a church congregation and children's theater companies, as well as school plays and concerts."
The festive evening will include music performed by Green Meadow students and faculty, as well as the Chapin Sisters, Green Meadow alumnae who are daughters of Grammy winner Tom Chapin.
The building includes classrooms, the Rose Hall theater, practice rooms for musicians and more. It serves Green Meadow students for dance, woodwork, metalwork, clay, chorus, instrumental music and other applied arts.
The Rose Hall auditorium and adjacent rooms are also a resource for all of Rockland County, Bergen County, and the surrounding counties, offering public concerts, plays, community events and a rental space for performances and conferences.
The hall features a stage with professional lighting and acoustics and seating for 300.

Nearly 350 students from 13 counties and almost 90 towns attend the independent Green Meadow Waldorf School. Located about 20 miles north of New York City, Green Meadow serves students from nursery school through grade 12.
Waldorf education is the fastest-growing independent school movement worldwide, with 300 schools in the U.S. and nearly 1,000 around the world. The curriculum is based on the philosophy of Rudolf Steiner, who founded the first Waldorf School in Germany in 1919. Green Meadow offers developmentally based, challenging academic coursework infused with the arts. Students are exposed to diverse disciplines and can choose traditional classes such as modern languages and sciences while also learning practical arts, such as knitting, blacksmithing, and woodworking. The school also limits the use of technology and media for younger students, which is now understood by researchers as essential to the developing brain.
About Green Meadow School and the Waldorf education: Founded in Germany in 1919 by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, Waldorf Education now includes schools on every continent. Green Meadow Waldorf School is an accredited full member of the Association of Waldorf Schools of North America (AWSNA), an association that strengthens and supports Waldorf schools and informs the public of the benefits of Waldorf education. Green Meadow is also an accredited member of the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS), a voluntary association of more than 140 independent schools in the state of New York.
