D-E Spirit Week Kicks Off

Oct 27, 2025 | Recent News, School Life Highlights

In the run-up to Spirit Week, D-E’s Upper School (US) students showed their school spirit by gathering at the Senior Lot to march together to Solomon Field for the Boys Varsity Soccer game ahead of Homecoming 2025. The theme was Pink Out, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so students, faculty, and staff across divisions wore pink shirts, sweaters, and accessories. US students will be earning points for their grade throughout the week and rallying to support the Center for Food Action—because that’s who we are as a community. The Spirit Week festivities officially began today with Pajama Day and will continue with Tacky Tourist Tuesday, Wild West Wednesday, D-E Spirit Day on Thursday, and Halloween on Friday. Additionally, there will be a series of lunchtime soccer games on Leggett Field (today 12th graders won against the 10th graders) and a volleyball championship with fun halftime challenges to give students more chances to earn points for their team. Here’s to a week full of Bulldog pride!
