Last Friday evening, the DEI and WCA committees co-hosted a movie night. The featured movie, “13th“ was timely in nature and documents America’s painful relationship with racial inequalities. The movie sparked discussion around what we as a community can do to teach our students this element of our history as well as move our community into action. This documentary is certainly worth watching! Much gratitude to the DEI and WCA committees for designing such a powerful event.
Do you enjoy working outdoors? The Outdoor Life Committee maintains all the plants, furniture, signs, and other elements of our landscape directly in front of the School. We are a small group of present and former parents who enjoy working outside together, learning about plants, and seeing the campus bloom.
This fall we are seeking to add 1-2 members. There is no experience required, just interest and availability. Are you curious? Have questions and a little time? Please email Laura Freysinger at artnsew68@gmail.com. Depending on the season and the job to be attended, we work outdoors normally on Sunday mornings. We plan to resume an occasional indoor meeting once it is safe to do so and probably do a zoom meeting this winter.
The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee has created a group in WhatsApp geared towards sharing events, marches, protests, etc, in your area so that we can be in the know about where our voices can be heard. Join the WSMF STANDS group here. (you must have WhatsApp to join)
The new solar panel is now up and running in the Quad, designed to run the rope lights attached to the canopy structure using 100% solar energy. These cheerful lights will brighten the space underneath, turning on automatically each afternoon and evening at no cost in fossil fuel consumption. (more…)

The Outdoor Life Committee (OLC) met on Sunday, January 19th. We planned our upcoming meetings for the remainder of the school year and have listed them below. We discussed garden maintenance and we have a tip to share with you that we think you will find helpful at home. We also have a message for you about sticks and our lovingly curated and landscaped pathways. (more…)
Inside the Great Hall, the early childhood teachers will have arranged pine boughs in a large spiral, decorated with crystals, flowers and shells. When all the attendees have sat down and settled, an angel will appear, carrying a single lit candle. With this, she will enter the spiral and light the flame in the center. (more…)
The Wee Folk Shoppe needs your donations for the Enchanted Fair on December 14! We ask that each family (grades families, too!) donate 5-8 items for our delightful Wee Folk Shoppe. Please ensure that all donations fit our school policy – no character depictions, made from natural materials and considerate of all holiday traditions. (more…)
Many opportunities in our community! Come see what’s cooking! (more…)
Two new eye-catching patio tables with bench seats and umbrellas have been given to the school by the Freysinger, Dowley, and Brewer-Siljeholm families. Their gift is intended to complete the bluestone patio which was built in 2017 with community donations from the Enhancement Fund. Constructed by Forever Redwood, a California-based company, the tables are made from pieces of redwood and douglas fir in a style called Mosaic Eco-Wood. This pattern takes leftover pieces of old growth timber that are traditionally scrapped due to their small size and reclaims the wood as fine furniture.
