Trips and Summer Programs

At Friday afternoon's Chat we talked about . . .

Summer Program registration is ongoing. Have you signed up? Take a look at the Summer Programs section of the web site for the remarkable array of offerings. And please spread the word. This is a wonderful way for friends and neighbors to experience a bit of WCFS.

The fourth grade returned from Echo Hill Friday afternoon, which prompted a discussion of the range of field trip opportunities from pre-k through fifth grade. Trips enhance the curriculum in ways that allow us to go beyond the "four walls" of our school. On overnight trips, like Echo Hill and the fifth grade trip to DC, students also learn from the experience of travel itself and of living together as a group.
