A huge "thank you" to Dr. Stephanie Akoumany for speaking with WFS faculty and staff today. Stephanie's Bloom Wellness Lab provides mindfulness, curiosity, and movement coaching to organizations to help them thrive, and she connected these concepts to our school's DEI work.
Stephanie emphasized the importance of momentum and always striving to move forward, even when encountering difficulty and frustration. Through engaging concepts and examples, she helped us understand our own roles, our own personal energy, and our power to look past judgment towards understanding and growth. Her daughter, Zoe, even expressed her own belief that we all have the power to help the world!
The 8th grade choir traveled to Kendal-Crosslands to spread holiday cheer through music! Singing for the residents of both communities, the student musicians enjoyed sharing their talents and celebrating the holiday season with this special group.
Thanks to middle school parents Inna Snyder and Julia Morse Forester '00, working alongside Jewish Student Union (JSU) advisor Shoshana Kaplan, students enjoyed a meaningful and delicious Hanukkah celebration.
Thank you to all the WFS community members who came out to Charcoal Pit on Wednesday night to try Coach T’s “Quaker Shake” on his birthday and celebrate our 2025 State Champion Field Hockey Team!
During recess, 1st-grade students worked together on our Natural Playground to design and build their very own see-saw using fallen branches and logs. With teamwork, problem-solving, and plenty of creativity, they transformed natural materials into a working structure—all through hands-on learning and exploratory play.
It was another excellent fall for WFS athletics. Our student-athletes competed with purpose, resilience, and school pride across every field, course, and court. We’re incredibly proud of their hard work and grateful to the fans who cheered them on.
