The WFS community spent time this week reflecting and recognizing the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Lower school students sat in silent reflection as they watched our annual kindergarten peace march. Some of the kindergarteners' inspirational messages included, "Be Kind Tu Erf" (Be Kind To Earth), "Do Not Litr the Osn" (Do Not Litter the Ocean), "Shre" (Share), and "Tac Kar Uv Pepl (Take Care of People). The lower school community then gathered for Meeting for Worship.
Middle school students watched Dr. King's "To Serve" video and then heard from upper school students about what service means to them, including Brandon Jones '25 and Ryan Tattersall '25, who spoke about their time with the Down Syndrome Association of Delaware; Jillian Farley '25 who spoke about Best Buddies; and Josh Fung '26 who talked about his mission trips. Students then spent time in several service activities including making sandwiches to donate to Wilmington's Ministry of Caring and writing cards for children in the hospital and those in senior care facilities.
Upper school students listened to a conversation between Sarah Lester '04, President and CEO of Cornerstone West & Community Development Corporation and Lucia Cericola '25, Andrew Forman '25, and Temilola Lufadeju '25. Lester's Wilmington-based organization provides programs, services, support and advocacy when and where they are needed to ensure families become self-sufficient, and our communities thrive. Students then engaged in student-designed and led workshops related to themes of Dr. King's work.
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.
The Quaker Cares Club brought energy and encouragement to campus with a Wellness Smoothie Bike for our Middle and Upper School students! By hopping on the bike and pedaling fast, students blended their own healthy, delicious smoothies—a fun reminder that taking care of yourself matters, especially during high-stress times.
Wilmington Friends School middle school student-athletes wrapped up a successful fall season marked by growth, teamwork, and competitive spirit across cross country, field hockey, football, soccer, and volleyball.
A huge thank you to all of our alumni who came out on November 29 for wrestling, basketball, and volleyball! It was wonderful to see teammates reconnect, compete, and cheer each other on across all three games. Go Blue!
