Thanks!
Many thanks to Trs. Phyllis, Mimi A., and Kara for leading us in our celebration of the International Day of Peace on September 21. Peace is one of our Quaker values and will be a theme through our school years.
Thank you to parents Justin Hodge and Cathy Beck for serving as panelists during our first All School Gathering. Trs. Devon and Mimi A. rounded out the panelists.
And of course, a huge thank you to our General Committee for once again supporting our school and annual hayride. Special thanks to Joe Stratton and family for sharing Wynnorr Farm. This year, GFS class of 2000's Hannah Stratton drove the tractor!
