Ugly Sweater Competition

Every year, the Saints’ host a competition for the Christmas season. People who choose to participate show up in their ugliest sweaters possible and only one person prevails as winner. Ms. Braun always tends to go all out with her outfit and it tends to bode well for her. This tradition is a good way to bring the school together and bring some comedy into the stressful times of finals preparation.

Ping Pong Tournament

The annual pre-Thanksgiving Break Ping Pong Tournament started in 2019, and has been a bright spot in the pre-holiday season for the students in the Upper School. Ping Pong tables are back in the Martin Commons, so make sure you practice before joining the tournament. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Feliz Navidad Sing-A-Long

On top of the competition, we always host a sing-a-long of “Feliz Navidad” with fake snow that consists of torn up paper. This tradition was started by Dr. Taylor and Señora Williams in 2007. It started in chapel with the help of the guitar club! It continued to evolve year by year to what it is today. This is another instance of bringing us together in the times of finals prep.

SAGE Thanksgiving Lunch

Every year, the kind cooks at SAGE prepare a meal in preparation for the Thanksgiving Break. This meal usually includes pies for dessert, some sort of Thanksgiving esque meat, vegetables, and other items in celebration of Thanksgiving. this helps us not only have Thanksgiving with our families, but also with our loved ones at school!
