In a letter composed in 1983 by the director of the steering committee, a letter written to support the fledgling school, are these words: We are aware that this school is coming about not only out of our love and concern for our own children, but for all children and in the broadest sense, the future of mankind. This implies a moral responsibility that goes far beyond our personal considerations. If we are to establish a firm, lasting foundation here for future generations we must proceed with great care.<p fr-original-style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);line-height:1.5;" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);line-height:1.5;"> Thank you for your generous contribution to The Waldorf School of Santa Barbara.
