Work Wednesday

Work Wednesday is a day unlike any other you would expect to find in a school. Each Wednesday, students put aside their books and academic studies to put their time and attention into work for others. We assign students the tasks that they can best manage, whether it’s clerking for a consignment shop, weeding for a rescue mission, or building a house for those who could not otherwise afford to buy one. Students also perform work for the school; not only do they clean and tidy the building, they also work in our garden and greenhouse. They have created murals, glass-tile mosaics, quilts, and benches to make Northfield a more beautiful and comfortable place.
