FSH Receives Grant From Friends Council on Education
The Friends Council on Education awarded Friends School Haverford a $2,000 grant to support our outdoor education water study program. A stream bed/water irrigation table was installed on the Forest's Edge property. This three-level cascading table with rocks, sand, shovels and buckets simulates a river bed.
This is a great opportunity for Forest's Edge students to explore with water and learn about environmental stewardship.
They have shared the experience with their Grade 8 partners.
The Forest's Edge property also provides opportunities for fort building with natural materials and play in the mud kitchen.

After months of research, writing, and perfecting their speeches, Grade 8 gave their final social justice presentations to their families, middle school students, and teachers. Topics included black lives matter, effects of terrorism, transgender bias, Islamaphobia, female representation in the media, Native American bias, and homelessness.

Forest's Edge students and our Carousel Connections friends visited Brandywine Senior Living along with a few of the bunnies. Our Brandywine friends read stories to the kids, colored with them, did puzzles together, and enjoyed meeting the bunnies.

Puppies
The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies came by for their weekly "Zones" visit. They were outside and very active. The Zones topic was empathy and understanding how somebody else may feel. At this stage of their development, the puppies are learning new things and working through feelings of fear. Children shared about what they may be afraid of and how we can help the puppies feel comfortable in the "green zone"!
