Even though CSG has girls from preschool to high school, I
still feel connected with all divisions of the school. I think the greatest way
that the school encourages relationships between older and younger girls is
through the “Big Sis/Little Sis” program. In seventh grade you are assigned a
little sister in the first grade and usually keep that same little sister until
you graduate and she is in sixth grade. We meet a few times a year to do
activities together and catch up. It’s a lot of fun to hear what’s happening in
the Lower School and in my little sister’s life!
This past Friday we had a Big Sis/ Little Sis event. These
days are also called Red-Gold days. The even numbered classes (class of 2012,
2014, 2016, etc.) are the Red Team and the odd numbered classes are the Gold
Team. I’m on the Red Team, so I get to
wear a red shirt and jeans and girls on the Gold Team get to wear a gold shirt
and jeans. The most recent event was this past Friday, near Earth Day, so we
wrote and colored messages about the Earth in sidewalk chalk in the courtyard.
Our events also usually involve a service project,
so this time we created flowers out of magazines and wrote messages. They will
be sent to Nationwide Children’s Hospital and hung up as decorations.
