What a Fun Day in Upper School!

If you walked across The Green at lunch this past week, you could not miss it: a burst of bright orange, classic white with touches of SBS blue, and the kind of energy that tells you something good is happening. Our first-ever WHATADAY! delivered exactly what we hoped for, giving upper school students an hour to relax, laugh and enjoy being together.

Under blue Houston skies, students picked up their Whataburger boxes and spread out across The Green and the athletic fields with friends. Spikeball and cornhole sets stayed busy, giant Jenga drew some curious players and the basketball and soccer inflatables kept a steady line of challengers. Others jumped into spontaneous pick-up games, enjoyed ice cream and soaked up the break in the day. Head of School John Card stepped in near the end with a few Whataburger giveaways, and the playful prizes had students smiling.

“WHATADAY was so much fun,” junior Carson Patterson said. “This kind of thing is unique to SBS because of our schedule and our community. I loved having time with friends and hope we can do it again.”

Upstairs in the Eagle Club, teachers enjoyed a WHATABREAK with Whataburger lunches and a quiet space before afternoon classes.

As music carried across The Green, it was clear that students made the most of every minute. When cleanup time rolled around, you could hear it in their conversations. WHATADAY was a hit and well worth repeating
