  • Grades 1-4 gathered in the Meetinghouse on Monday (the first day of school) for an introduction to the 2019-2020 School theme: “Taking Care.” Lower School Head John Evans discussed the theme and it’s many different meanings — from self-care to environmental stewardship. Students were eager to share ideas about how they take care themselves (like brushing their teeth) and how they can take care of others (like standing up for a friend.) #FSTakingCare
