Neighbors who can’t attend in person are invited to share the music on Berkshire Waldorf School’s Facebook page.

CHP and volunteers will distribute food to community members Monday, May 4, from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the school bus on the Berkshire Waldorf School campus. Anyone in need of food is welcome.
