Fourth Grade’s Lenape Celebration Days

Fourth graders spend the fall term learning about the Lenape people who were the first people to live on the land that is now our campus. Their studies culminated in their Lenape Celebration Days, a way to honor and celebrate the Lenape while enjoying the beauty of this campus.

Teachers Shelagh Wilson and Marion Dear, along with parent volunteers, made soup and snacks with students using traditional Lenape crops, went for a hike on campus, and canoed on the lake. They also played traditional Lenape games. Other campus activities included time on the ropes course, a cookout at the lake, a sunset Meeting for Worship, and making s’mores at the fire circle.
