"This pretty planet, spinning through space, you're a garden, you're a harbor, you're a holy place. Golden sun going down, gentle blue giant, spin us around...." #wcfriends #wcfriendsarteveryday #thirdgradecollaboration #processartforkids

Searching for a project that they could do together while distanced, the creative kids in our afterschool care program decided to build a town! They are beginning the construction with boxes and other recyclable materials and look forward to painting and adding other elements as the year moves forward! #wcfriends #wcfriendsafterschooliscool

The Class of 2021 recently hosted a virtual Indigenous Peoples Gallery, featuring presentations on a variety of Native American tribal culture. Each sudent created a replica of a tribe's particular art, and brought forward from this project an appreciation for the exacting process, beautifrul detail and commitment of time required for each piece. #wcfriends #wcfriendsallschoolunit #classof2021 #IndigenousPeoplesDay2020 #QuakerEd
