Coming Together at the Headwaters School Community Picnic Each May, the Headwaters School Community Picnic brings together over 400 members of our community for a day of connection and celebration. As our largest event of the year, the picnic serves as a chance for families, students, and staff to enjoy time together outside the classroom, building relationships and sharing in the unique culture of our school. The picnic is also an opportunity to welcome newly admitted families into the community. Whether they’re joining in on a field game, trying their hand at button-making, or simply enjoying live music on the lawn, new families quickly get a sense of what makes the Headwaters community so special: a mix of warmth, collaboration, and shared values. With activities ranging from swimming to coloring stations and a popular clothing swap, the event offers something for everyone. It’s not just a day for fun—it’s a reflection of our community’s commitment to creativity, sustainability, and connection. For many, the picnic is a highlight of the year, marking a moment to slow down and appreciate the vibrant network of people that make up Headwaters School. As we look ahead to this spring, we’re excited to once again come together for this tradition that continues to grow in spirit and significance.
