Thursday -- Day 4, Food & Drink
Special recipes and traditions often play a role in our holiday celebrations. Whether it be an appetizer or a main course, a dessert, or a favorite beverage, certain recipes can immediately bring us "home." Our community of faculty and staff (and some alums!) shared their favorite holiday and new year's recipes and traditions, and we’ve incorporated these wonderful contributions into a “digital cookbook.” Please consider sharing your favorite holiday food and drink traditions by emailing Sarah Driscoll at sdriscoll@wilmingtonfriends.org, or posting and tagging us on social media.

12 Days of Christmas

On the last day before break, students, faculty, and staff from all grades traditionally gather in the West Gym to celebrate. This year, students are viewing the pre-recorded program with their cohorts, advisories, or from home. The culmination of the so-called "Thing in the Gym" is the singing of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" which can be viewed in the video above. To view the entire program, CLICK HERE. ENJOY!
