Congratulations to WFS faculty member Carlos Charriez and the WFS garden, which was recently named a recipient of the Delaware Governor's Outstanding Volunteer Award!
Carlos, the WFS garden manager, has grown the program over the last decade, and last summer the school donated nearly 500 pounds of produce.
We were excited to welcome back to campus WFS alum and Delaware First Lady Tracey Quillen Carney ’80 who presented the award. The Governor’s Outstanding Volunteer Service Awards, administered by the State Office of Volunteerism, honors the contributions of individuals and groups in Delaware that have made a positive impact in their communities or across the state through service and volunteering.
“I salute these worthy recipients and all those who volunteered their time and energy this year to help improve the health and well-being of their neighbors in need,” said Governor John Carney. “The coronavirus pandemic has brought special challenges for many of our residents in 2021, which is why I am doubly grateful for the generosity and selfless commitment of these volunteers.”
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.
