The Fourth Grade Chorus joined in harmony for a Thanksgiving video rendition of Harvest Moon by Cristi Cary Miller. In a normal year, we would be together in concert and in person. Yet this year, a digital postcard is the safest and surest way to send everyone in our community the warmest wishes for peace. Thank you to Matthew Stensrud, our Lower School Music Teacher, for his efforts to deliver the gift of music and these voices to our homes. We hope you enjoy their song!

Together let us hold in the Light the victims of last night’s Atlanta area murders. Their families and communities have our deepest sympathies. Sidwell Friends School wholly condemns this violence and deplores the ongoing racism committed against Asian Americans.
Sidwell Friends has an obligation to confront and teach this history and unequivocally condemns the ongoing presence of anti-Asian racism. As a Quaker school, we must eliminate hate, deepen understanding, and promote unity in diversity.
