UNDER THE LIGHTS WEEK

Monday, October 21 – Friday, October 25

Join us for a week filled with Husky pride as we cheer on our athletic teams on the Peterson Family Field at the Peterson Middle School! This year, the week will end with a bonfire, Spirit Alley activities, face painting, inflatables, balloons, and a football game under the lights.

Review these pro tips to help make the evening run smoothly:

Generally, you can avoid all parking hassles after 4:00 p.m. by parking at the Lower School and taking the Flint Hill bus shuttle to the Upper School Campus which will run continuously through the end of the football game.
