🏕️🔥🐢It’s been an amazing two weeks of fun at Goshen Friends School Summer Camp! Last week we learned about the wildlife all around us, while this week, we are pitching our tents and going “camping.” 💦🐍🌞

💐 One of our favorite traditions at Goshen Friends School: Mother’s Day plates.
For generations, GFS students have turned their original artwork into keepsake plates for their moms, each one capturing a moment in time and becoming part of family memories for years to come. The oldest plate in these photos dates all the way back to 1975!
Do you still have a GFS Mother’s Day plate at home? Alumni families and former students, we’d love to see them! Share a photo in the comments and tell us what year it’s from.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing moms, grandmothers, and caregivers in our GFS community! 💚🕊️
