Indre Zalepuga, Editor in Chief

At 10:00am this morning, the Upper School headed down to the Hoagland Arena to start the annual Gym Day, followed by the traditional all-school cookout for burgers and dogs. During Gym Day, all Upper School grade levels, including some faculty, participated in various spirited games: volleyball, handball, dodgeball, spike-ball, soccer, hungry hippos, and basketball. At the end of the afternoon, the seniors won the spirit games.

For lunch, the students and faculty headed to the lunch loggia, where the school’s faculty served cheeseburgers, hotdogs, beans, chips and cookies.  Gym Day is a highlight of the year for most, and today was truly a memorable one.  See below for some photos.
