Two Seniors Shadow WFS Faculty Members for Their Senior Exploration Projects

Daniela shadowed lower school science teacher Tim Dalby. She noted, "During my time shadowing Teacher Tim in the lower school sciences, I learned a lot about patience and that different kids sometimes need different explanations. The thing I enjoyed the most was helping the kids with projects I remember doing myself at their age, as it brought back lots of memories!"

 

Annabelle spent time with lower school counselor Ginnie Jones. Reflecting on her experience, she stated, "During my time in the lower school with Teacher Ginnie, I got to see what it is like as a lower school counselor. Between meetings and helping other younger-year teachers, I learned that every student is different, and they have an entire support team helping them and figuring out next steps! I loved being back in the lower school and having the opportunity to work with an amazing mentor for a job I could possibly see myself having in the future!"

 

On Thursday, members of the Class of 2026 will share the Senior Exploration projects they have been working on throughout the past month with one another and the community.

 

Senior Exploration gives seniors the opportunity to integrate and apply the skills and knowledge they have developed at WFS through authentic, in-depth experiences. Guided by a personal question, students pursue meaningful opportunities that challenge them to reflect on their growth, interests, and future aspirations.
