One Day

This year’s One Day, March 18, 2026, supports Waynflete Forward, our current capital campaign, with a focus on raising funds for the new Wellness and Athletics Center and The Waynflete Fund. To celebrate the Wellness and Athletics Center, and a community that prioritizes educating the whole child in mind, body, and spirit, we hope you will join us by participating in one or many of our wellness activities and supporting the school with a gift on One Day.
