Day-of Guidelines

In order to hold the event for as many students as possible, this will be a drop-off event for Grades 3-8.

All K-2 participants must have one parent/caregiver chaperone. (We are unable to accommodate more than one adult chaperone for K-2 participants.)
​

Maker Day is open to current Friends students and employee families. Please reach out with any questions or concerns, but due to the limited capacity of these activities, requests for non-student siblings will be immediately wait-listed in order to prioritize access for our students and employee families.​

No food or drinks will be served. Please bring water bottles!
​

Some events will be held outdoors, and some workshops may be messy. Please dress appropriately!
