WFS 6th and 7th graders recently traveled in their service groups to different locations: the Delaware Food Bank; Faithful Friends Animal Society; Guardian Angels Daycare; Rockland Place Assisted Living; the Materials Resource Center in Ephrata, Pennsylvania; and Alapocas State Park.
Students had many meaningful takeaways from their experiences—they learned which plants are invasive species in Alapocas, how to patiently approach an animal and read its body language, and how to effectively communicate and engage with young children. They were especially moved by the wealth of stories and wisdom shared by the elderly—plus, many rediscovered a love of bingo!
At the Delaware Food Bank, students worked hard to pack boxes, including more than 700 weekend/dinner kits, and learned about hunger in our community—even among young children who lack access to enough food. At the Materials Resource Center, students helped prepare supplies for refugees and displaced people across the world.
Our 8th-grade Chinese students recently completed a unit on dining culture and brought their learning to life with a visit to LeShio Restaurant in Wilmington!
The WFS Upper School Student-Run Production is an annual tradition in which students are chosen to create, direct, and produce (and often write) their own vision for the stage.
A huge thank you to our incredible Grounds and Building Services team for their tireless work over the past three days—morning and night—clearing snow and making sure our campus is accessible for members of our community. Your dedication, care, and behind-the-scenes efforts make a real difference!
