What's for Lunch?

Sewanee Dining is now providing weekly menus to help our students and day families with their meal planning. Wow! Tuesday's tamales and plantains were delicious!

Info Sessions on Friday

Football

SAS athletes may play football through a cooperative arrangement with Grundy County High School. The GCHS coach will be in the Quad Friday at lunchtime to talk to athletes interested in playing.

Scouts

Troop 14 Scoutmaster Reuben Brigety will be on campus Friday during lunch to talk to boys in grades 6 and 7 who are interested in scouting. He and current Scouts will make their presentation in the Spencer Room.

A Full Weekend of Activities

We have a weekend full of activities for students in grades 8-12. Friday night there will be a casual dance for students in grades 8-10. Saturday offers a cycling adventure in Chattanooga, canoeing on the Res, a trip for our varsity soccer players to a pro game in Nashville, and a bonfire on campus. Sunday there is a field trip to the new National Museum of African American Music in Nashville and a Dean's Social to wind down to Compline. Day students in grades 8-12 are welcome on campus, but must check in and out with the Teacher-in-Charge.

Cure that Pandemic Lethargy!

The SAS Alumni Council invites everyone in the community to join them for the first annual SAS Spring Earth Traverse, an opportunity to shed this year (and a few pandemic pounds) by getting out and getting active. Pop on some SAS gear and post a picture of you out and exercising.

Need some SAS in your wardrobe?

The SAS School Store is on-line! Warmer weather is here and you need an SAS t-shirt. Protect your head with an SAS ball cap. We've got you covered!
