The sessions on Non Sibi Day focus on what we can do for others–in order to implement this effectively, it is important to spend time with and strengthen the bonds in our own high school community. During this time, there will be activities and games set up in several locations around the school as well as an opportunity to purchase food and other goods from various clubs – all proceeds will go to a charity of the club’s choosing. Specifics will be sent out closer to Non Sibi Day. Please use this period to spend time with your community—join in the games and activities, relax, browse the club fundraiser fair, and chat with your classmates and teachers.
