Last week, WFS 9th through 11th graders participated in a day of service, volunteering at Delaware organizations from the New Castle County Hope Center to Friendship House Clothing Bank, among others.
At the Hope Center, students met with WFS alums Matt Meyer '90 and Aundrea Almond '90, who shared the history of the organization and how their Friends education, in particular, taught them the importance of getting involved in the community and that we all have a role in making change for the better happen. Seniors had the day away at Top Golf for Senior Bonding Day! #WFSupperschool #WFSSpices #WFSbeyondtheclassroom
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.
The WFS World Languages Department is currently attending the national ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) conference in Philadelphia.
