“Sign-In” Weekend #2
7:00 – 10:00 PM

Big events are more fun when more people participate, so this is a closed evening for boarding students and an opportunity for day students to spend a night in the dorms for a night of fun! Day students who wish to spend the night on campus need to talk to a boarding student who can host them, and then the two of them need to contact BJ Sbarra, Director of Residential Life, to submit their request. Space is limited, so if you are interested in participating, don’t hesitate to sign up!
Day students are always invited to attend the festivities on Friday night, even if not spending the night in the dorms.
