Getting our hands dirty for a cleaner, greener pla

Getting our hands dirty for a cleaner, greener planet! Yesterday, Friends School students stayed after school to celebrate Earth Day with some joyful outdoor activities. We made pinecone bird feeders, milk carton bird feeders, and seed bombs. We enjoyed sidewalk chalk and a dance party in the breezeway. We are so thankful for a community that prioritizes environmental stewardship and the future of Mother Earth!

Watching our students dive into experiential learn

Watching our students dive into experiential learning is a beautiful reminder that growth doesn’t just happen in the pages of a textbook or the four walls of a classroom- it happens in the moments of curiosity, discovery, and doing. These experiential learning opportunities plant seeds of confidence, creativity, and real-world understanding that will foster growth for years to come. This is our Beyond the Classroom program!

Today we had students off campus visiting the Norfolk Botanical Garden! This field trip was a collaboration of the garden and science programs at Friends School including grades 3rd-5th as well as 8th graders. Students are touring the gardens and learning about what native species are in bloom in April including camellias, Carolina jessamine, golden ragwort, and the cherry blossoms! They also set aside time on the field trip for meditation and journaling. They couldn’t have asked for a better spring weather day for learning beyond the classroom! 🌺
