Traditions

List of 6 items.

  • RED AND WHITE TEAMS

    In Classes V to XII, the Physical Education Department divides the girls into two teams, Red and White. The Red and White Teams have been a part of Brearley tradition since 1923. If a family member preceded a girl at Brearley, she will join that family member's team; otherwise, she will be assigned to one or the other by the Physical Education Department.
  • MOUNTAIN DAY

    Every fall the Brearley’s Athletic Association, Self-Government and Class XII sponsor a “Mountain Day” for Classes V through XII at Bear Mountain State Park. We have a picnic lunch and join in various noncompetitive activities and games designed to give students throughout the Middle and Upper Schools a chance to have fun together in a splendid outdoor setting. Many faculty and staff members come along and participate in several planned activities with students, such as hiking up the mountain, walking around the lake, and playing faculty-student volleyball.

    Although all academic classes are cancelled, Mountain Day, like Field Day and “Special Day” programs, is considered a regular school day. Middle and Upper School students report to their homerooms at 8:10 a.m. and return to school by 3:15 p.m.
  • HOMECOMING

    Homecoming takes place on a Friday and Saturday in the fall. On Friday night, Middle School, JV and Varsity Volleyball  teams compete against The Chapin School  at the Brearley Field House.  On Saturday, teams meet at the Asphalt Green for Brunch and the festivies begin with a Cross Country Race on the Promenade against Chapin.  Varsity Field Hockey and Varsity Soccer also compete against The Chapin School at Asphalt Green.  Many Brearley clubs set up booths to sell treats throughout the day, and there is always a cookout. The event is full of Brearley spirit and fun.
  • WINTER CARNIVAL

    Winter Carnival is a two day event when most of the Brearley teams play against Nightingale-Bamford’s teams. On both days each year The Athletic Association choses an organization to donate to. In past years money has been raised for American Red Cross Tsunami Relief, Hurricane Katrina relief and Operation Phone Home (phone cards for the troops overseas). The events themselves are full of fun and good competition.
  • FIELD DAYS

    Middle and Upper School Field Day is one of Brearley’s oldest traditions: the first Field Day was held in1923. It is a day of community spirit and friendly Red and White team competition, and is one of the few events when the entire Middle and Upper Schools come together for a full day. The event culminates in the announcement of the winners of the Brearley Middle and Upper School Cups and the Richard B. Stearns, Jr., Memorial Award. For the Lower School, a morning is set aside each spring when all the girls participate in athletic activities.
  • ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BANQUET

    The Athletic Banquet has been a spring event at Brearley for the past 33 years. It is a beloved tradition that allows the Athletics Department to recognize the hard work, dedication and time that Brearley students devote to sports. Speeches, award presentations and the annual slide show of scenes from the past year are a few of the evening’s highlights.
