Our Wildwood, Volume 52

WOLVES MAKING WAVES Students, alumni, and faculty making us proud Our Latest Wave-Makers

Middle and Upper School Thespians Shine at DTASC A win in every category! Congratulations to our middle school students for a stellar showing at the Drama Teachers Association of Southern California (DTASC) Fall Festival. Wildwood came in first place out of 30 schools at this annual showcase of theatrical skills. Not to be outdone, our upper school thespians competed in five different categories–and took first place in two categories. A rare achievement for any school that’s certainly worthy of a standing ovation!

Art and Science Collide in Getty-sponsored Exhibit

Several Wildwood students had their work featured at the Craft Contemporary this fall as part of the Getty’s citywide art event Pacific Standard Time (PST). Incorporating PST’s theme of “Art and Science Collide”, the Wildwood submissions included works made from mushrooms that students foraged, treated, and repurposed into mushroom leather and mushroom paper, with the purpose of showing the potential for various mushrooms to be used as a natural leather alternative and as a functional and biodegradable medium for paper crafts.
