Wooster School Hosts Upper School Fall Sports Season Celebration

This celebration was personal and meaningful as we continue to be "Minding What Matters" in all areas of school life.

The Wooster School Athletics community gathered on Monday night for the Upper School Fall Sports Season Celebration.

Wooster School's athletic celebrations are a unique experience. The athletics department continues to seek ways to balance the "team" experience with that of the "individual." Finding room for student-athletes, coaches, and parents to reflect and share their favorite memories is a community and team building exercise and one that we feel is important to the success of our program.

Our athletic celebration began as a whole group. After a brief introduction; teams, along with their parents and coaches, moved to locations to share their experiences, talk about the growth they have seen over the course of the season, and celebrate the shared experience.

The night concluded with beverages, fruit, and snacks; and the handing out of traditional awards. This celebration was personal and meaningful as we continue to be "Minding What Matters" in all areas of school life.

Listed below are all of the night's individual award winners.
