About Wakefield
The first thing that will strike you upon arriving at Wakefield School is the setting. Astonishingly beautiful even at first glance, over time the vistas become a subtle reinforcement of the broad perspective of a classical education.
On a warm day, evidence of the breadth of the experience may appear before you leave your car. You might see fifth graders spread along the sidewalks working on applications of Newtonian physics; sophomores taking advantage of the breezeway to practice their lines for “The Raven”; advanced art students with their sketch boards perched on the fieldstone walls, trying to capture the Piedmont with charcoal and paper. Inside, classroom appearances are more traditional, but the dialogue is no less exciting—it is the give-and-take between students and teachers that is the core of Wakefield. Whether it’s a First Amendment debate in AP Government, a seventh grader in deep thought trying to design the experiment that will answer his questions, or the seniors debating Joseph Campbell’s theories in their aptly-nicknamed literature course, “The Meaning of Life,” Wakefield students are challenged to think about and with the material they are learning, and to seek not just answers, but further questions.
The range and diversity of non-academic activities is equally remarkable, as students launch their new TV station, manage the school’s recycling, field championship sports teams, produce the online newspaper and nationally-recognized literary/art magazine, participate in service work, or just enjoy the weekly convening of the Ping Pong Club.
This is a school where precise, original thinking, effective, disciplined expression, and first-rate effort are all fundamental learned habits. This is also a community of possibilities. On this hilltop, with this faculty of teachers, coaches, and advisers, our students learn there is very little they can’t do when they put their minds to it.
A funny, charming,and thoroughly enjoyable musical! Singing, tap dancing, comedy and flapper-style costumes – it’s great entertainment for the entire family! The story takes place in 1922 – Millie arrives in New York from Kansas to pursue her dream of becoming “thoroughly modern” and marrying for money instead of love. The city is full of intrigue and jazz – a time when women were entering the workforce and the rules of love and social behavior were changing forever.
“Thoroughly Modern Millie” is being directed by Christine Denning, owner of Kidz-Act here in Leesburg. This is Ms. Christine’s second year directing at JLSMS. Mr. Willis Rosenfeld, Chorus Teacher at Simpson, is teaching the music to the students. Miss Cassie Ludtke, owner of Footloose Dance and Fitness in Purcellville, Virginia, is directing the dance choreography.
Mark your calendars for this year’s fabulous production of “Thoroughly Modern Millie”, set in the year 1922. If you attended last year’s musical, “Music Man Jr.”, you know that “Thoroughly Modern Millie” will be nothing short of spectacular!

Saturday, April 14, 2012 – 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Friday, April 20, 2012 – 7:00 p.m.
