The ‘Spirit Days’ not only promote school spirit and pride in our school, but they promote diversity, understanding, tolerance and community.” Just a few weeks later, creativity was on full display for the much-anticipated Mismatch Day, held on Friday, April 8. The event served as a chance for students and staff to express themselves with the most colorfully mismatched outfits they could imagine. Students of every grade level, from Adelphi’s Little Schoolers (two-yearold program) to its college-bound Senior Class, were invited and encouraged to come to school dressed in different-colored socks, different shoes, shorts worn over pants, multiple neckties and different-colored hair clips. “Self-expression is an important part of each student’s development and ‘Mismatch Day’ allows students to express themselves without judgment Students dressed in Adelphi colors for Brown & Gold Day.
