Outside of the Box at 2026 Upper School Community Day
This year’s fourth-straight Community Day at the Upper School focused on’outside of the box,’ something focused on by alumna Rockie Yewendwossen ’25 in her Senior Spring Project. Author Jason Craige Harris launched the event by speaking to students about having difficult conversations, then students transitioned to group games and to two sets of workshops.
After Harris brought the energy to the gym, students transitioned to play group games and win prizes, setting the tone for the rest of the day. For the rest of the morning, everyone attended 2 of the 70 peer-led workshops that covered everything from cupcake decorating and pancakes to dechlorinating water and building a marble run.Â
This annual event is a way for the whole school to step back from the rigors of everyday life and learn and experience new things together. Thank you to the DEIG department and the Community Day planning committee for their tireless efforts to make this day a success.
