*During Meeting for Worship (the Quaker form of community worship), students and teachers gather in silence. Anyone may stand and speak briefly to share a personal thought or feeling. Although it is a form of religious practice, Meeting in the school setting is not intended as an assertion of ideology. Rather, it serves as a time of quiet reflection, with the experience largely defined by each individual in the context of his/her own beliefs and traditions.
