MAKING THEIR OWN PADDLES FOR TEMAGAMI! In preparation for their big 8th grade trip to Northern Ontario, the rising 8th graders carved and shaped boards of ash wood to create their own canoe paddles as part of their woodworking block last spring. They made their own shave horse workbenches and cut the boards to the correct length. The students then used spokeshaves, hand planes, and gouges. Finally, the paddles were sanded and finished with a marine grade varnish for their paddling adventures. They also wood burned their initials into the handles. 

In just one week, our rising 8th graders will depart for a 10 day trip where they will paddle and portage (carrying canoes across land) through the pristine lakes and wilderness islands of Northern Ontario.

3RD GRADE GARDENING - The hustle and bustle of the end of the school year had so much to share. Shown here is the 3rd grade harvesting and enjoying the bounty they planted in the fall. The students prepared their greens and garlic scapes  for a giant salad to share for lunch. In their words: “Yum!”

One question we hear often is: WHERE DO OUR ALUMNI GO TO COLLEGE?

Historically, our graduates have gone on to attend outstanding colleges and universities—from well-known institutions close to home to campuses across the globe. And when it comes to our most recent graduating classes, we’re always excited to share where they’re headed next!

Our 5th Annual GRAD COFFEE HOUR took place on May 28 th. This year, we welcomed back the DWS Class of 2022 and their class teacher, Dr. Linda Williams. After nearly four years apart, Dr. Williams and many of her former students reconvened in the library to celebrate the  high school graduates’ recent accomplishments, share insights about the ir transition to high school, and express excitement about their next steps in life.  “Just being together in each other’s presence, in this building where we shared so many memories, was a joy,” said Dr. Williams.

Afterward, the graduates toured the school, visiting former subject teachers and greeting current students.  Then, they headed out to Quietland to meet up with Mr. Honey for a few rounds of capture the flag with our current 7th- and 8th-grade students. The day concluded with pizza and a panel discussion, where the graduates, along with other DWS alumni, answered the middle schoolers’ questions about high school.

Of course, the DWS Advancement and Enrollment departments were there to gather key information from our newly adult alumni. See the next post for a list of the schools the Class of 2022 will be attending in the fall.

Good luck, DWS Class of 2022, on your continued learning adventures, and know that no matter where you live, or where you are in your life journey, that you are always in our hearts here at DWS. 💛
