On December 13, the 5th-grade choir brought the holiday spirit to life with three memorable performances during their choir tour!
Their first stop was at the Caesar Rodney Rotary Club in Wilmington, where they delighted members with their festive repertoire. Next, they visited Fairville Friends School, where they not only performed, but also joined in song with students there. A highlight of the visit was a special meet-and-greet with kindergarten students, and some of our fifth graders cherished the chance to reconnect with former WFS kindergarten teacher, Kim Alberta.
The tour concluded with a visit to the Brandywine River Museum, where the students showcased their talents for museum patrons. This performance was even streamed live on Facebook, allowing the joy of their music to reach an even wider audience!
What a wonderful way to share the sounds of the season and spread joy to so many in our community. Bravo, 5th-grade choir! 🎶
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.
