Extracurriculars at Washington School

On Friday, October 30, the 4th grade performed the first elementary play of the year. To maintain appropriate social distancing they had a show for the parents and a later performance for the elementary students, and both performances were excellent. One of the reasons these plays are a priority is that they teach children they can work together to do something bigger than they can do alone. 

Later the same day the middle school and high student councils, led by student council president Mollie Warrington, held a Trunk or Treat for the elementary students. The student councils did something that to the best of our knowledge had not been done before by working together and doing something bigger than they could have done as individuals. Extracurriculars at Washington School teach lessons that reinforce those our families work to teach their children at home and help all students at Washington School reach their full potential.

The Heisman High School Scholarship program honors the nation’s most accomplished, community-minded high school senior athletes. By inviting male and female students from schools across the country to share their stories of leadership and impact, the program aims to inspire all students to harness their potential, push their limits, and use their talents not only to advance their own futures, but to improve the communities and world around them. This year's winners from Washington School are seniors Mollie Warrington and John Chandler Lyles.
The Elementary Spirit of Kindness Award is awarded monthly to two students who have exhibited exemplary kindness to other students and the faculty of the school. Congratulations to this month's two winners.
