Wildwood School

As we commemorate Juneteenth this weekend, we reflect on these words by Fannie Lou Hamer and celebrate the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States. Happy Juneteenth!

Last spring, Landis checked in with then-senior Tess Fresco and her sister, Emma, a 2017 Wildwood graduate, on how they were coping during what was the early stages of the pandemic. As Tess now wraps up her first year of college and Emma prepares to graduate, the dynamic duo share their thoughts on the past year and offer advice to the Class of 2021.

This Thursday, we’re throwing it way, way back...to the 1970’s! Anyone recognize this space? Here’s a BIG hint ! #tbt #Wildwoodat50 #goWolves

Once a Wolf, always a Wolf! Alumnae Maya Wali-Richardson ‘11 and sister Kanchan Wali-Richardson ‘08 originally designed the Wildwood Wolf 12 years ago as part of a school-wide contest. Today, they’re still showing their Wildwood pride with a new design for our younger Wolves. Check out our story on these #wolvesmakingwaves here: https://www.wildwood.org/cf_news/view.cfm?newsid=6327 #wildwoodpride

As a new generation of students and alumni add energy and urgency to the work toward diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Landis sits down with Karen Dye, director of equity and inclusion, and her predecessor, Rasheda Carroll, to talk about the history of DEI work in independent schools, and Wildwood specifically, as well as their hopes for the future.

Wildwood School is committed to cultivating spaces where students, parents, faculty, and staff can consider critical questions about what makes a healthy democracy. More than ever, these discussions call upon us to use the Habits of Perspective, Evidence, and Common Good, specifically. This ELECTure video series was created out of this desire. In this series (link below), Wildwood elementary and middle and upper faculty share thought-provoking discussions that explore issues related to democracy, community, and civic engagement. https://www.wildwood.org/cf_news/view.cfm?newsID=6291
