After creating posters to showcase their multiplication solving strategies, 3rd grade students participated in a gallery walk to learn from each other’s thinking. They then came together for a Math Congress, taking turns as the experts to explain their approaches, ask questions, and discover new ways to solve problems. A wonderful reminder that there’s more than one way to think mathematically!

Elementary Family Time is a meaningful chance for students from 1st-5th grade to connect, play, and collaborate. 5th grade students take on leadership roles, planning games and activities for their younger peers to enjoy.

This past Friday marked the first Family Time of the year, where students were challenged (dun dun dun!) to style a bandana matching their family group’s color, and will have to wear it in a different way for each meeting throughout the year.

Ask your kiddos what they did with their school family on Friday!

A wonderful visit from the Wonderful Schools Project! 🌟

We loved welcoming longtime educators Amy and Tom Vorenberg to SFS as they travel the country learning about the programs, practices, and communities that make independent schools distinctly wonderful.

It was a joy to share some of the learning, creativity, connection, and community that make SFS, SFS. We’re honored to be one of their first stops and can’t wait to follow along with their journey! 💛
