Qualities
At the end-of-year ceremony, every child receives a "quality" that the child has worked to develop during the school year. The qualities are selected by the teachers to help the child focus a positive aspect of their nature.
In these videos of the ceremony, each child gives a talk about his or her quality, and what it means to them. Watching the children speak before an audience of 300 adults and children will give you an appreciation for what an LWS education can offer your child.
The speeches vary from the scripted one-liners of the Pre-K children, to the graduation speeches of the 8th graders.
