Young People's Constitutional Rights

Fifth graders had a great adventure in New York City! They visited the Tenement Museum where they learned more about the immigrant and migrant experience, enjoyed lunch at Madison Square Park, and then went to the National Museum of Mathematics where they participated in activities to illuminate the joy of math!

The middle school Asian Affinity Group traveled to the lower school to read stories to students that highlighted Asian history or protagonists. Lower school students loved meeting the middle school students, listening to the stories, and learning more about Asian heritage. 

The future of Friends looks very bright! Look at the smiles as our preschool kangas, roos, and joeys waited for the bus for their final field trip of the year to the Can-Do Playground!

Members of the Eco Team met with representatives from Practical Energy Solutions, who had recently completed an energy audit and assessment at WFS, to review their recommendations on how as a school we can improve lighting and internal loads, plumbing and hot water use, our HVAC systems, and increase our solar energy potential. The Eco Team will use these findings to help implement energy solutions across the school.

Third graders visited the WFS garden last Friday (PJ Day!) to help harvest (and sample!) some of this year's strawberry crop.

So much joy at the third, fourth, and fifth grade spring concert! Congratulations to all our lower school musicians.

Thank you to everyone in the community who came out and supported the 10th grade carwash and bake sale last weekend!

One of the favorite traditions of senior year at WFS is time spent with first grade buddies. Juniors got a jumpstart on this before the school year ends, meeting with their buddies (current kindergarteners) and having a blast! They can't wait to spend more time together next year.

As part of his "Quaker Quest" for Quakerism class, Ryan Hill '25 recently spoke to lower school students about his reptile collection, including a spiny tailed iguana, ball python, and isopods. 

Congratulations to the boys' lacrosse team and the girls' soccer team for capturing the DISC Championships in their respective sports!

Lower school students loved learning about the writing process from visiting author, Susan Hood.
