Highlights From Tacky Tourist Day 2, Spirit Week 2025

Oct 29, 2025 | D-E Traditions, Recent News, School Life Highlights

For Day 2 of Spirit Week, our Upper School (US) students (and faculty/staff) dressed as “tacky tourists”— and 11th graders defeated 9th graders during the lunchtime soccer game PLUS won the halftime game, during which players hilariously stuffed their mouths with marshmallows, increasing the amount each round until they could no longer say “Chubby Bunny” clearly. Coin Wars is also going strong! Throughout the week, US students can stop by the Student Activities Center and drop cash or coins in  containers to earn points for their grades. Each physical cent is worth one point. You can also deduct points from any grade by scanning the QR codes affixed to the containers and donating money via Paypal. All proceeds go to The Center for Food Action, which helps combat food insecurity and homelessness in New Jersey. Grade 11 is currently in the lead, but our Seniors are close behind! Go Bulldogs!!!
