"Our school was experiencing conflicts between students, parents, and faculty.
Teachers were feeling overwhelmed and parents were angry and frustrated.
Then we found Dr. Bledsoe. He took what was best about us as a community, accentuated it, and it's still working 4 years later!"
Anne White (Waldorf School Roaring Fork, CO)
