It was all smiles on campus today as students and staff were eager to start the long weekend. The fun pictures above show Upper School excitement in our morning assembly as everyone donned their favorite school colors for National College Colors Day! Clemson and Carolina were heavy favorites, with Georgia, Ole Miss, and Wofford also having strong representation. 

Earlier this week, students heard from Converse University President Boone Hopkins on academic honor and integrity before the community signing of the Upper School Honor Code. Fall sports are in full swing, and we enjoyed welcoming parents to campus on Wednesday to meet with teachers and hear more about Upper School life. 

Please remember that Monday is a student/staff holiday, and we return on Tuesday to an A-day schedule. Below are reminders and upcoming important dates. 

**Please note that SAT Prep times have been shifted to 1:00 - 3:00.**

Wishing you all a fabulous long weekend! The tiny hint of cooler weather is a beautiful way to start the break!

All the best,

Paige
