Spirit Day Challenge from Student Forum

Remember that sweet feeling of getting a Spirit Day? Or maybe you wished you could give your Friday uniform a day off? Now’s our chance to give current Buccaneers that same feeling!

Student Forum President Kene Oguine '27 and Student Forum Vice President Claire Stockstad '27 are leading the charge to inspire alumni support for the Endowed Alumni Scholarship Fund! They’ve set a goal for 100 alumni to make a gift by October 15 and they're surpassed 60 gifts with two weeks remaining! When our alumni reaches this goal, both Upper and Middle Division will celebrate with a Spirit Day on October 16—giving those Friday uniforms a well-deserved day off! Join the effort and show your support today.
