We, the Sage Hill class of 2025, request the rescheduling of our senior retreat for October 28-29. Given that this date coincides with the early action deadlines for college applications, we believe moving the retreat to finals week would significantly reduce stress, promote bonding, and benefit our mental health.

We propose rescheduling the senior retreat to spring finals week, a time when seniors do not have academic exams. This would allow us to fully participate in the retreat without the added pressure of looming application deadlines. Finals week presents a more suitable time as it aligns with our academic schedule and provides a more relaxed period for the retreat activities.
