💛 What a wonderful day of community at UFS! ✨

Our Holiday Vendor Mart filled campus with creativity and connection as friends explored handmade treasures from local artisans, families, and teachers. The joy continued into the evening with Chorus & Cocoa, where the United Voices of Friends filled the night with music, warmth, and Light.

These moments reflect who we are as a community—supportive, joyful, and rooted in care. This community shines so brightly. Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🕯️✨

Friends education holds a simple but powerful belief: 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝. At UFS, that means creating a learning environment where reflection, community, curiosity, and compassion are part of everyday life. Children have space to explore ideas, to understand their feelings, to resolve conflicts with intention, and to discover the strengths that make them who they are.

This approach helps them develop not only as learners, but as grounded, empathetic humans. It shapes the way they see themselves, relate to others, and engage with the world around them. It’s one of the qualities that makes a Quaker education feel both timeless and deeply relevant today.

Today, we’re revisiting an article from earlier this year that shares how these values shape daily life in a Friends school. Visit the link in our bio and navigate to our blog to read more.

✨ Earlier this week, our Hicks Class (Preschool) scientists had a blast exploring two colorful experiments! First, they mixed crayons with paint to see what would happen when wax and paint come together. Then they tried a traveling water experiment and watched in amazement as colors crept up paper towels and slowly blended together like magic. The students were fascinated as the colors of the rainbow met in the middle… and eventually mixed into a deep, mysterious black! 🌈🖤

Hands-on science + curious minds = the best kind of learning! 🌟

Stewardship isn't simply about taking care of things, it's about honoring the people, places, and possibilities that shape our community.

Refilling bird feeders so younger friends can watch the cardinals. Tending the garden beds, caring for a space that future friends will enjoy. Friends stepping carefully along the creek bank, making sure they leave the ecosystem healthier than they found it.

These small moments aren't just habits. They are lessons in responsibility, community, and connection, lessons our alumni carry with them long after they leave our halls. Friends Helping Friends: Every gift strengthens the foundation our friends stand on.

“𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.”

United Friends School recently welcomed Pennsylvania State Representative Craig Staats for a campus visit. He spent time in classrooms observing lessons and engaging with teachers and students about the impact of a Quaker education - how it fosters critical thinking, creativity, and character.

After his visit, Rep. Staats recorded a brief message sharing his reflections and outlining how the Pennsylvania EITC program works to support independent schools like UFS.

As we recognize Giving Tuesday, we invite our community and partners to watch his message and learn more about EITC’s role in expanding opportunities for UFS students.

✨Farm to Table Curriculum Night 🌾✨
What a joyful evening! Throughout our main school building, families explored engaging Farm-to-Table projects created by friends from Preschool through 8th Grade—each display showing curiosity, care, and so much creativity. The Helman-Osborn Class filled the Big Room with incredible work, and students proudly guided their families through classrooms, sharing their own learning and celebrating their peers.

Smiles, laughter, learning, and community were everywhere. Nights like this remind us how meaningful project-based learning truly is. ❤️

🍞 Our Rustin Class (TK/K) took their Farm-to-Table exploration to the griddle this week! They have learned much about how wheat is harvested and ground into flour. The children worked together to measure, mix, and knead simple doughs by hand. They discovered how flatbread and pancakes—two of the world’s oldest and simplest breads—connect people across cultures. As little scientists, they observed textures and changes from dry flour to smooth batter; as mathematicians, they counted scoops and measured carefully; and as a caring community, they shared their freshly made bread with one another. This hands-on project blended our studies of science, math, and global connections—reminding us that even a small pancake can carry a big story. YUM! 🥞

At UFS, we believe movement in early childhood isn’t just about burning energy, it’s about building brains, bodies, and unshakeable confidence.

That’s why we’re so excited to welcome back All-Star Sports, evening enrichment program open to all local families. These fun, low-pressure classes invite toddlers and preschoolers to explore, move, and learn through play — surrounded by caring coaches and friends .

Because every jump, toss, and cheer helps little ones grow in confidence and joy. 💫

🍎 Last week, the Penn (1/2) and Fox (2/3) classes spent the morning at Bobwhite Acres apple orchard to learn and study all things farm to table! Students picked apples and even learned the names of different apples. Today, students used the apples they picked from the orchard to make applesauce! What a delicious treat! 🍏

✨We’ve had two great weeks of Partner Time at UFS! Once a week, students from K–8 come together to connect, collaborate, and create. Whether they’re working on fun projects, playing games, or tackling hands-on activities, it’s a joyful opportunity for younger and older students to learn from one another and build meaningful friendships. Students have been working on setting up and observing hydroponic growing stations, creating mandalas with natural materials outside, and playing community building games. What a special time with our partners! 🤩

🍁Fall is in the air at UFS! 🍁

🖌️ The Mott Class (Preschool) has been hard at work on their fall landscape. Today, students made paint from walnut shells and charcoal that will be used on the landscape. They have been learning about the food and shelter that trees provide for people and animals in the fall, and are starting to explore the other ways that trees provide materials and tools that we can use to build and create things. 🌳

🍂 The Rustin Class (TK/K) explored leaves up close. The math curriculum’s calendar has been revealing a “surprise leaf” each day — helping students spot patterns, colors, and shapes while counting and predicting what might come next. Inspired by all that leafy fun, each student selected a leaf or two, painted it carefully with white paint, and gently pressed it onto black paper to create a beautiful contrast print. The results were stunning — and the classroom was filled with cheerful chatter about shapes, symmetry, and nature’s surprises. 🍁✨

The Rustin Class (TK/K) Farm-to-Table Project 🌾🥖 is moving into an exciting new phase as they begin studying wheat! They read The Little Red Hen 🐔 and With Love, Little Red Hen ❤️🐔 to spark conversations about teamwork and perseverance.
As part of their seed explorations, students:
🌻 Tasted sunflower seeds (both shelled and unshelled to compare effort)
🎃 Tried pumpkin seeds
🌱 Sampled bean sprouts
🔍 Compared, counted, and sorted seeds in different ways
We even got hands-on and made our own Play-Doh 🎨, which was a big hit!

☀️ Yesterday, our Helman-Osborn (6th-8th) students went on their first trip of the year to Lake Nockamixon! Students closely studied the double-crested cormorant and had the opportunity to observe and sketch the birds. They also conducted water tests for phosphate, nitrate, pH, and dissolved oxygen and recorded their results. The trip concluded with an exploration of the shoreline and some snacks. What a beautiful afternoon spent outdoors! 🦆🧪✨

By providing a calm, nurturing environment, toddlers are encouraged to explore safely, make choices, and express themselves. Community, empathy, and respect help them connect with others, while hands-on, play-based experiences spark curiosity and problem-solving.

Even at this early stage, children build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging - laying the foundation for lifelong learning and meaningful relationships.

By providing a calm, nurturing environment, toddlers are encouraged to explore safely, make choices, and express themselves. Community, empathy, and respect help them connect with others, while hands-on, play-based experiences spark curiosity and problem-solving.

Even at this early stage, children build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging - laying the foundation for lifelong learning and meaningful relationships.

A gentle, joyful beginning for our youngest learners

We’re excited to share that United Friends School will launch a new toddler program, First Light, in January 2026.

First Light is a full-day, play-based experience for two-year-olds, grounded in Quaker values, nature-based learning, and nurturing relationships. Children will enjoy a daily rhythm of music, movement, storytelling, outdoor play, and sensory exploration in a warm and thoughtfully designed classroom space.

This program responds to a growing need in our community for care that is not only full-day, but also deeply intentional. By welcoming children at an earlier age, we strengthen the foundation of our school community and extend the UFS experience to even our youngest learners.

First Light begins January 2026 in the newly reimagined Rustin Room. Learn more or inquire at the link in our bio.

It looks like restored gardens, joyful outdoor play, and classrooms alive with curiosity and compassion.

It looks like teachers growing in their practice, children designing with purpose, and friends gathering around shared meals and shared values.

At UFS, every act of generosity nurtures more than learning it nurtures light. We are so grateful for the community that helps us grow.

✨ Today our Rustin Class (TK/K) had their first adventure at the creek with their middle school buddies! 🌿 The children explored the water, collected treasures from nature, and shared discoveries side by side. It was heartwarming to see the older students guiding, encouraging, and laughing along with their young friends. Together, they practiced the Quaker values of community, stewardship, and simplicity—finding joy in nature, caring for one another, and being fully present in the beauty around us. 💚

☀️The Penn (1st/2nd) and Fox (2nd/3rd) classes went to the creek for the first time this school year! Students shared observations, listened to a story, journaled at their sit-spots, identified living creatures, and explored the creek! What a beautiful afternoon! ☀️💦🐟

☀️ Summer camps at UFS are in full swing! Last week at the “In the Garden” camp, our campers got their hands dirty weeding the garden, planting beans, and learning about the fascinating world of worms—complete with some creative worm-inspired art! They also painted pots and planted seeds, and even set up their own mock farm stand. This week, at “Handwork & Crafting” camp, campers explored their artistic side by creating beautiful still-life flowers using oil pastels and watercolors. It’s been an amazing time, and there’s so much more excitement ahead! 🪴🪱🌻

🌱🚜 The Mott class (Preschool) took a trip to Morgan Creek Farms to learn more about farms and farming from expert Farmer Steph. They got to see some farm tools, turn and explore compost beds, and see different stages of plant life cycles in the greenhouse and fields. The students were especially excited to see the big pigs and feed them chocolate treats! 🐷
