HOMECOMING

from RHCD Bulletin - Spring 2020

A Year of Champions

Homecoming weekend continued with some new and returning traditions this year! On Friday afternoon we hosted three Middle School games and an Upper School Cross Country meet, before turning attention to our 2nd Annual Blue and White Night. With over 350 people in attendance, the night included food trucks, a DJ, bonfires, and lawn games all organized by the Booster Club, as well as smores sponsored by the Alumni Association. This was a great night for families, alumni, and friends to watch games and have fun reminiscing around the fire pits.

Saturday kicked-off with four Upper School conference games: Girls and Boys Varsity Soccer, Field Hockey, and Boys Junior Varsity Soccer playing in front of a homefield crowd of more than 500 spectators. Additionally, our Alumni Association held its semi-annual meeting with great representation from several decades. They discussed exciting plans for the year and heard updates from Head of School Diane Rich and Board President Don McCaughey.

Throughout the day, fans cheered the sports teams and ate at the BBQ lunch, while our littlest guests enjoyed bouncy castles, face painting, and tractor rides. A Corn Hole Tournament hosted by the Booster Club had more than 20 teams in the field and proved to be a tough competition, with Phil Hackett ‘10 and Tory Dumas ‘10 taking top honors.

The festivities concluded at Line Sider Brewing in East Greenwich where many community members gathered for casual conversation and cheer. This was a wonderful way to wrap up a new tradition at Rocky Hill Country Day School, and we hope to see many families and alumni next Homecoming!
