Formal Decision: Spring Fling to be Held in June
Story by: Allie Tracey and David Rivera
STANWICH EAST— The date for the Second Annual Spring “Fling,” an end
of the year formal for Upper School students at The Stanwich School
changed recently to June 6.
Mr. Dunn, as well as the Upper School
Government Representatives, agreed to the new date and other details
about this spring’s formal.
The Pow Wow, a local Greenwich event,
was also scheduled for the original May 4th
date, and many students
expressed an interest in opting out of the
formal.
As a result, the date for the formal has been moved to June 6, the
day before Closing Ceremonies- and when students go their separate
ways for the summer.
The decision means that this not only helps the students prepare,
but it will also serve as a proper good bye and send-off to
vacation.
“We simply listened to the students,” Student
Government Advisor Mr. Dunn said, “And they got what they wanted.”
As the end of the year is imminent, goodbyes
are part of the spring routine.
Having
the formal on this later date will be important for a transition,
and help all students realize how much we might miss being one big
family throughout the summer.

Walk for Hope Brings Out Competitive,
Compassionate Spirits
Story by Esther Hoekstra
GREENWICH
- As the Breast Cancer Alliance hosts a walk to raise awareness
for that cause, Stanwich will compete with other schools to
raise money.
The goal of this 7th annual event is to help raise
funds and awareness for breast cancer research.
All of the schools that
support the Breast Cancer Alliance will compete and the school
with the most participants will win a trophy.
Breast
cancer affects nearly 200,000 women each year and more than
40,000 are untreated. While
it is predominately a women’s health issue, men can be affected
too. Approximately 1,700 men are diagnosed with breast cancer
each year.
The
Breast Cancer Alliance is sponsoring a one-mile walk on May 20th
in honor - or in memory - of those who fight breast cancer, in
hopes of a cancer-free future. This is another event in their
portfolio: previous ones included a fashion show to also raise
funds for research.
“It’s
a great cause and everyone should come and participate,” said
sophomore Caroline Drennen. “It’s
going to be really fun.”
Details are below for anyone interested.
