*Marching into May!*

March flew by, April is here, and May is right around the corner! This is
a busy time of the year for our 10th graders. Make sure to read the weekly
US newsletter for upcoming events. An abbreviated list appears at the
bottom of this post.


*All-School Service at A Wider Circle*

Please join other members of the Sidwell community on Saturday *May 2*,
2015 from *9:00 – 11:00* AM at A Wider Circle (AWC), 9159 Brookville Road,
Silver Spring, Maryland for a family morning of community service. SFS
students and families from all three divisions of the school will be moving
furniture and organizing household items at AWC's warehouse in Silver
Spring. If you are interested in helping out this nonprofit that serves low
income families in our community, please contact Mohini Malhotra via
mohinimalhotra1@gmail.com or 301.538.3717. A Wider Circle has been voted
one of the best charities in our community by the Catalogue of Philanthropy
and is a long-standing partner of Sidwell Friends. Coffee and muffins will
be provided for sustenance. Thank you for joining in.


*10th Grade Parent Social*

On Monday, *May 11, *2015 from *6:00-8:00 pm*, join fellow 10th grade
parents for drinks and appetizers at the newly renovated Cactus Cantina
(3300 Wisconsin Avenue, NW). We will gather in a private area with
appetizers covered by the 10th grade budget from the PA and a cash bar
with beverages at happy hour pricing. This is a wonderful opportunity for
parents to catch up and touch base before the school year ends. The
restaurant is located at 3300 Wisconsin Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC
20016. Hope to see you there!


*Faculty Appreciation Breakfast*

dedicated faculty and staff on Thursday, *May 21*, 2015; *all *Parents are
invited to participate. The teachers, coaches and administration welcome
these special breakfast treats! *How can you help?* Use this link to

School Faculty Lounge no later than 7:45 AM on the morning of Thursday, May

up at 7:30 AM, three volunteers to accept donations from drivers in the
carpool lane from 7:30 to 8:00 AM, and three volunteers to help clean up at
