Senior Notecard Writing
The Class of 2026 gathered to write uplifting messages for the Class of 2025, who are now spread across the country, from Delaware to California.
This tradition is a way for seniors to keep in touch with the previous graduating class as they are off on their next chapters.
These notes are filled with kindness, support, and a reminder that once you’re part of the WFS community, you are always connected. Each envelope also includes a surprise to brighten their day.
Class of 2025, be on the lookout! Your notes and special treats from the Class of 2026 should be arriving in your mailboxes shortly.
