Hi Neighbor!

Last weekend we shook things up and headed into Phoenixville for a little night out. Totally different for us. Stick with me.

A friend recently told me she’s signed up for an improv class this fall. Improv! I was impressed. That is wayyy outside my comfort zone. Meanwhile, I’m over here gearing up for mahjong, brushing up on bridge, and plotting my next hobby - knitting needles, here I come. September is my personal “back to school” month—I always try to embark on something new. READ MORE

Enjoy,

Regina

This week I'm 👀 Watching: Citizen journalist dives headfirst into Tulsa’s hidden truths. 🎧 Listening To: Just saw this band again on Saturday. Always obsessed! And 🧶 Learning: Knit one purl two.

Explore Friends’ Central School at a fall 2025 Open House!

A coeducational college-preparatory Quaker school, Friends' Central offers an outstanding independent school education to students in Nursery through grade 12. Located on 41 acres across two campuses in Wynnewood, PA, Friends’ Central cultivates the intellectual, spiritual, and ethical promise of students. In every grade, students are encouraged to think for themselves and to find the courage to voice their opinions while understanding the importance of respectfully agreeing and disagreeing with one another in their quest for discovery. The results of a Friends’ Central education are lifelong. Our graduates pursue their passions at top colleges and universities. Alumni/ae report that they are well prepared to excel academically, to lead, and to problem solve. And, when Friends’ Central alumni/ae graduate into the world, they are simply extraordinary.
