🌻🌻 The Kwenda Team would like to thank all the families who made their way to Kwenda Welcomes Spring this past Saturday! We had so much fun getting to know you and future Kwenda girls!

This event showed us what’s possible when our community comes together to create a different kind of school where joy, care and wonder are at the center of everything we do. Moreover, you showing up with so much enthusiasm shows us that, together, we can create a holistic school where the whole child is at the center.

Stay tuned for future opportunities to connect before we open our doors this fall!
