Spirit Week's "American Day"

Spirit Week's "American Day"

SBA student/athletes put their love of country on full display during Spirit Week's "American Day" competition Friday.

Congratulations to the older girls' advisory, which was judged "most patriotic" by a panel of campus experts.   

Spirit Week concludes Monday with the Fall Festival (bobbing for apples, pie throwing, balloon toss) and Halloween dinner at Village Hall. 


Student Council is contributing funds raised from raffle ticket sales for the pie throwing to the American Cancer Society.

Fall Color

The aspen trees are turning in the Sierra Nevada, and there was plenty of fall color on campus today even if the SBA campus is not nestled in - or beset by, depending upon your perspective - a grove of aspens. 


On "Color Day" - Day 3 of the 2011 Fall Festival - student advisories picked a color representing a specific cancer to raise awareness on campus. 


The winning advisory group picked purple, representing - among other illnesses - pancreatic cancer, which has been in the news lately with the untimely death of Steve Jobs. 


Students are selling raffle tickets this week to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
