Today our students brought a little extra fun and school spirit to the halls with an “underground” spirit day challenge — wearing their clothes inside out to see if their teachers would notice! From backwards hoodies to inside-out shirts, students quietly shared laughs all day long while showing creativity, connection, and school spirit in a lighthearted way. Thank you to our SCA students and sponsors for organizing such a fun surprise and helping make today memorable for everyone! #SOARingHighatBRI
