WFS Students Attend Baltimore Student Diversity Leadership Conference
WFS students L-T Alleyne '26, Sofía Hasse-Mas '25, Charlotte Kass '26, and Kayla Turman '26 recently attended the Baltimore Student Diversity Leadership Conference (BSDLC) at Sandy Spring Friends School.
BSDLC is a high school diversity and equity leadership training event that is planned by and led by upper school students in grades 9-12 from independent schools in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Delaware. Through keynote speakers, student-planned and led workshops on pertinent topics, and many opportunities for participants to share their voices, students experience a day of learning, affirmation, and lasting connections. Our students were encouraged by the workshops they attended and motivated to incorporate what they've learned as they continue to grow as leaders here at Friends.
The whole school, preschool through 12th grade, gathered together in the West Gym to celebrate the holidays at the annual "Thing in the Gym." Musicians from every grade level along with our faculty and staff choir shared their talents with music representing many different cultures and holidays. There was even a surprise visit from Santa and Buddy the Elf!
As upper school Spanish 2 students learn to communicate about vacations and celebrations this unit, they debated which is better: summer or winter vacations?
Upper school students and WFS faculty/staff attended two concurrent National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) conferences in Denver, Colorado.
Congratulations to our student musicians for a wonderful performance at last night's upper school instrumental concert! Photos courtesy of WFS Yearbook.
A beloved holiday tradition at WFS is our sixth grade pie bake for Wilmington's Sunday Breakfast Mission. Students lovingly peel, slice, prepare, box, and finally deliver more than 30 apple pies for those in our greater community.
