Volunteers of all ages gather at 10 a.m. at the school. The day begins in the Moorestown Friends Meeting House with Meeting for Worship in honor of Dr. King, coordinated by student members of the Upper School MLK, Jr. Club and the Upper School Service Committee, before beginning work on the projects at activity centers on campus. Activities will conclude by noon. Washington D.C. Area Alumni Gathering Parent Council Auction It’s an auction year! From vacation packages to gift certificates to class gifts, there is something for everyone at the auction. The biennial auction will be held at the Collingswood Ballroom and Scottish Rite Theater in Collingswood, NJ. Dozens of volunteers put in countless hours to make this evening special, and we hope you’ll be a part of the auction this year. Tours of local Meeting Houses with MFS Quaker educator Lynne Brick and Mt. Laurel Meeting historian, Jarry Jones Get a behind-the-scenes tour of the Mount Laurel and Medford Meeting Houses. Spend a morning learning the history and traditions of the Monthly Meetings and join us for a brunch at Braddocks Tavern. Alumni Weekend / Color Day Calling all Reds and Blues! For this year only, MFS is bringing back Color Day. A once long-standing tradition at the school, students were assigned the colors of red or blue, and the teams would compete in a series of field games in the spring. This year, students in all divisions will be assigned colors and will have the opportunity to earn points for their teams by participating in events throughout the year. Color Day will be the culminating event, and all members of the MFS community (current families and alumni) are encouraged to participate. Tour and Tea at Paulsdale Join us for an afternoon at the home of one of the school’s most notable alumna. MFS invites all members of the community to the home of Alice Paul, on Hooton Road in Mount Laurel. Now run by the Alice Paul Institute, Paulsdale was formerly owned by former faculty member and alumni parent, Miriam Feyerherm. This is a great opportunity to spend time exploring a local historical landmark with a direct connection to MFS. Commencement We will end our year-long celebration with Commencement for the Class of 2011 on the MFS Oval.
