As you have heard in announcements all week, the spirit day activities have been moved to Friday, September 4. If you are not comfortable participating in the outdoor events for health/safety reasons, you may stay home that day. Your absence will be marked as ‘excused.’  Please email Mrs. Manning at jmanning@st-bede.com if this is your intention.

There are a few items to take note of for spirit day:

1. Do not bring a bookbag or computer to school on Friday. Once we leave the building, no one will be allowed to re-enter.

2. On spirit day, you may bring your own raft for sliding down the slip ‘n slide. This is optional and St. Bede Academy will not provide these for students. Rafts that are left behind will be thrown away after spirit day activities are finished. 

3. No one may bring lipstick or any other item(s) to get each other dirty with. 

4. Seniors may bring their own water squirt tube. It may not resemble a squirt gun in any fashion; if it does, it will be taken from you. St. Bede Academy will not provide these for students. A pool of colored water will be provided to get others wet. The water tubes will be checked to make sure they are empty before you fill them
   with the colored water.

5. Spirit Day T-shirts will be distributed on Thursday, Sept. 3 as you enter school in the morning. Student government members will give you your shirt after your Covid temperature check. Wear them to school on Friday. You may not rip, cut or disfigure the shirt in any way. If you come to school having done so, you’ll will be
   given something to change into and a dress code violation will be written up.

6. Grab and Go lunch will be available on Sprit Day. Sign up as usual upon arrival.
