“Respect is a High Score” Wins T-shirt Contest Fourth-grader Caroline Hurley created the winning fourth-grade T-shirt design for the 2020-21 academic year: “Respect is a High Score!” Dorrine DeChant, Visual Arts Teacher, and Theresa Fuss, Lower School Health and Wellness Counselor, teamed up for the interdisciplinary project that combines leadership and graphic design. Hurley’s design is printed on T-shirts for the entire fourth-grade class to wear on designated days. “Wearing the shirt is a privilege for our fourth-grade leaders,” Fuss said. “Creating their design and remembering to wear their shirt when performing in leadership roles is their responsibility. “We provide opportunities, and they rise to the occasion; it gives them a sense of pride,” she continued. “The T-shirt sets them apart from the rest of the students, and it reminds them of their important role in setting the example for the entire Lower School!”
FWCD’s Kindness Initiative FWCD students showed their commitment to kindness before the 2020 winter break. The FWCD Libraries and Upper School Student Council teamed up to sell Kindness Initiative T-shirts as a fundraiser for the Maudrie M. Walton Elementary School to help the school rebuild their library’s book collection following a fire. A total of 578 T-shirts were sold, and $7,650.82 was raised.
