Year 11 and 12 | Stewards’ Dance
We are thrilled to be hosting the Stewards’ Dance for Year 11 and 12 students this year on Friday, Oct. 27 on campus from 8 to 11 p.m. The Stewards’ Dance is hosted and planned by the Board of Stewards with faculty supervision.
Each UCC student in Year 11 or 12 may bring one guest from another school, but by no means should they feel like they have to.
If your student plans on attending the Steward's Dance, parents must fill out this form. Guests from another school need to fill out the guest form. Students will also be receiving a copy of these forms through their school email.
Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Assistant Head of the Upper School - Student Life and Leadership

ORDER TODAY | UCC YETI mug and new UCC puffers and vests
YETI mug
Parents have asked so the PO is delivering — UCC YETI mugs! The top of the line 24 oz. insulated drink cup keeps your beverages hot or cold for hours. Each mug is dishwasher safe, sturdy and, best of all, has the school slogan, Never Walk Alone inscribed on the side. There are only a limited number, so please order soon to avoid disappointment. The deadline for ordering is October 13 on UCC Marketplace for $60.
Puffers and vests
The PO has two new UCC-crested fall outerwear options available for purchase through UCC Marketplace.
The first is a fleece vest ($65), available in grey or navy. It’s soft, low-pill, mid-weight and is perfect for fall layering.
The second is a puffer jacket ($110), available in grey or navy. It has a removable hood, zip front pockets and is water-resistant.
In-person pick-up will be scheduled for late October at the hockey arena. Home delivery is available for an additional $20.
Please note the deadline for ordering is October 16. All funds raised from jacket sales go to the Parents’ Organization and its efforts to help enrich the experience of UCC Upper School students.
