Halloween brings several beloved traditions to TBS. In the early morning hours, members of our “15 Year Club”, seniors who have been students at our school since Pre-Kindergarten, traveled to the lower school where they gathered beneath the banyan trees for a group photo commemorating their time as Buccaneers. Then, they headed to Lower School classrooms and helped younger students prepare for the annual Halloween parade. I had the honor of leading the parade along with Head of Lower School, Maggie Granados. The football field was lined with spectators eagerly awaiting their “inflatable minions” and “Taylor Swifts” to take a lap around the field.  

Next, I headed to the Middle School where 6th through 8th graders were decked out in orange and blue in honor of Buc-O-Ween. From blue hair and suspenders to orange tutus and facepaint, our students were definitely feeling the school spirit!

I ended the day at the Upper School where students and faculty were dressed in costume and Spirit wear and enjoyed a sweet treat from Jupiter Donuts.

The school days, like Halloween, that are steeped in TBS tradition always seem to carry with them the most joy and celebration and are a highlight of my year. 

As the winter months are upon us, I look forward to celebrating many more Benjamin holiday traditions!
