Auction class projects are underway at the Lower and Middle Schools and students are excited to start creating!

A team of dedicated parent volunteers are working hard to come up with some must have one-of-a-kind items available for bid at the Moravian Academy Auction on April 4th!

Mr. Robert Wolfenden, local artist specializing in stained glass and woodworking, came in to work with our first and third-grade classes this week. Mr. Wolfenden is creating a “Crayon River” with our first-grade students and a stained glass masterpiece for our lucky third-grade students. It’s been wonderful to have Mr. Wolfenden share his expertise with our curious learners!

A complete listing of our class creations, which will be available for bidding at the Auction, can be seen below. Thank you to our amazing team of parent volunteers and Mr. Wolfenden for working on these outstanding projects!
