The WFS garden is still in bloom! This fall, sixth graders have been hard at work harvesting the fall crop, including cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, bell and jalapeño peppers, squash, and cantaloupe, as well as helping put the final touches on the new WFS greenhouse.
These students have been growing snap peas from seeds in science class which they will watch grow in the greenhouse as we head into the colder months. Last week, preschoolers and first graders visited the greenhouse and planted garlic. These young students learned about why we grow food at WFS (to support local food pantries and to teach our students about healthy eating) and got to sample some of the fall's cantaloupe harvest!
In addition, faculty members Carlos Charriez and Sia Willie were recently highlighted at the annual Pilot Light Feed Your Mind event in Chicago for their work in food education. Click here to see their interview.
10th-grade chemistry students tackled electrochemistry with a hands-on copper-plating ornament project, discovering how chemical reactions deposit metal onto objects.
After our annual “The Thing in the Gym” celebration, seniors and their first-grade buddies connected by playing games, sharing holiday plans, and creating festive cards together. These moments highlight the special cross-grade relationships that are a part of life at Wilmington Friends School.
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.
