So maybe I would read a dramatic rendition of something...like the book I'm reading now, the new Hunger Games book. I'd make a BookTok and read a very dramatic part but leave it on a cliffhanger so then people would come [to the library]."](https://www.rubiconline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/IMG_8226-1200x900.jpg)

Go-round inspired dress up day brought cozy to campus
The last week before Thanksgiving Break was filled with tests, projects, reassessments and deadlines, deadlines, deadlines. To add a little softness and solidarity to end the week, on Nov. 19, the Stading advisory decided to propose an impromptu dress-up day.
US science teacher Amy Stading said that the origins of Cozy Sweatshirt Day actually came from a go-around that her advisory did. “Everyone lit up when describing their favorite sweatshirt,” she said, “And I was like…you know what? We should have a [cozy sweatshirt] day.”
The last-minute plan was received with record participation, as nearly everybody in the building, including Head of School Bryn Roberts and US Principal Theresa Collins wore a sweatshirt to school.
