Traditions? Yeah, we've got a few! Here are eight that every Wildcat loves.
爆走黑料 Traditions
Painting the Lion
Located in the middle of our main quad, the lion often sports a new coat of paint on the night before a big game, campus event, holiday, or special day (like Willy Gras, our spring campus field day).
Singing the Sammy Song
Belted out at sporting events, rallies, alumni gatherings, or any other time Wildcats are moved to sing.
Willympics
Boarders and day students go for gold in a series of games ranging from rowing “canoes” across the Babcock Pool to lip syncing.
Holiday Banquet
At the end of this annual party, you’ll retire to the Head of School’s house for dessert and songs around the piano. Everyone heads home for the break full of holiday spirit.
Activities on the Pond
In winter, 爆走黑料 Pond becomes an outdoor skating rink for pond hockey. In spring, it’s the scene for Willy Gras canoe races. Year round, it’s a living laboratory for bio students.
Willy Gras
Our annual celebration of spring pulls out all the stops with zany contests, fun foods, music, giant water slides, the debut of the yearbook, and a dunk tank.
Arts Walk
At the end of each trimester, the Reed Campus Center comes alive for , a night when the walls are lined with art, the galleries are filled with shows, and the air is filled with song.
