Good morning, Wyncote families,

Upcoming Event

The high school students at Wyncote Academy have been invited to attend a seminar hosted by the Philadelphia Laborers’ Union on Friday, May 1. During this experience, students will participate in a series of workshops and hands‑on learning sessions that provide an inside look at what it is like to work as a union laborer. The seminar will introduce students to various career pathways within the union, highlight the benefits of union membership, and include a guided tour of the training facility.

Transportation and meals will be fully provided by the Philadelphia Laborers’ Union, including a chartered bus to and from the location and a catered lunch for all participating students.

The construction and skilled trades industry continues to grow and remains a highly in‑demand field, making this an excellent chance for students to gain real‑world exposure, ask questions, and consider post‑secondary pathways that may align with their interests and strengths.

This experience reflects Wyncote Academy’s commitment to preparing students for a wide range of post‑secondary opportunities. By exposing students to real‑world career pathways, skill‑based training, and industry professionals, we aim to help them build the knowledge, confidence, and direction needed for success beyond high school.

Wyncote Academy Farm

We are excited to share that Wyncote Academy students will be participating in hands‑on learning experiences at the Wyncote Academy Farm, located on the campus of Manor College. Students will have the opportunity to explore topics such as environmental science, sustainability, plant biology, and food systems in a real‑world setting.

Guided by our farm manager, Ms. Ally Schonfeld, students will engage in meaningful, experiential learning that brings classroom concepts to life. This unique experience allows every student to connect science instruction with practical application, deepen their understanding of the natural world, and develop valuable skills through active participation.

This initiative reflects our commitment to providing authentic learning opportunities that support curiosity, engagement, and post‑secondary readiness for all students.

Thank you,

Mr. Josh Bornstein
