The hub of our dynamic N-12 community, Wheeler's campus at the top of College Hill in Providence, offers student-focused learning spaces designed to encourage discovery, collaboration, play, and achievement.
In the City
Our 120-acre farm in nearby Seekonk, MA provides students with state-of-the-art athletic facilities. It's a pastoral counterpoint to our urban campus—and is a living, hands-on laboratory for a range of unique programs.
On the Farm
We’re pleased to welcome Wheeler parents and Family Association (WFA) representatives Michelle Cheung P’31, P’34 and Tildy Davidson P’28 P’31 as this week’s calendar co-hosts! We’ll see them – and hopefully you, too – at the last Clothing Sale Donation Day of the fall this Tuesday in Providence, and (if your family is in The Nest and Lower School) at Saturday’s Trunk or Treat at the farm.
As if those events weren’t spook-tacular enough, there’s even more happening at Wheeler this week, including:
TUESDAY:
– WFA Presents: Clothing Sale Donation Day
– Lower School Virtual Lunch & Learn (Virtual)
WEDNESDAY
– Parent and Guardian Learning Differences Conversations
THURSDAY
– Middle School Parent/Guardian and Teacher Conferences (No school for Middle School students)
– PSATs for Grades 10 and 11
FRIDAY
– Nursery through Middle School Conferences and Upper School Professional Day (No school for all students)
SATURDAY
– WFA Presents: Lower School Trunk or Treat 🎃
NOW THROUGH NOV. 4 AT THE CHAZAN GALLERY IN PROVIDENCE
– “Everyday Wonder,” an exhibition featuring the work of artists Maria Napolitano and Karen Roarke
You can see more information about all of these events in the Parent Portal and in the event listings from last Thursday’s e-newsletter.
We’ll see everyone back at school tomorrow – and thanks again to Tildy and Michelle!
