Lower School Family Night at Quaker Basketball and Recognition of 2024 Field Hockey Team
Our community had a blast at Lower School Family Night at the Quaker girls' and boys' basketball games where we also celebrated the 2024 WFS Field Hockey team!
The 2024 WFS field hockey team had an outstanding fall, reaching the State Finals for the first time in 38 years! The undefeated DISC Champions went 15-2-1 and scored 79 goals, the most in team history. They also recorded nine shutouts, only allowed 15 goals, and became the first team to have four players score at least ten or more goals.
Lower school students had fun joining the student-athletes on the basketball court, participating in a halftime show, and cheering on the Quakers boys' and girls' basketball teams as they picked up two wins!
