As a way of promoting healthy competition, fostering school spirit and pride, and developing leadership qualities in students, Eastminster School offers the Blue and Gold Program.
Prior to the first day of school, each Middle School student is randomly assigned to either the Blue team or the Gold team. The teams will meet on the first day to elect a Team Captain and a Grade Captain for each grade level. The Team Captain must come from the highest grade that we offer.
Throughout the course of the school year, opportunities will be given for students (individually and as a team) to earn points. These opportunities may come in the form of games or contests, uniform checks, service projects, academic honors, and so forth.
Twice a year (once prior to Christmas Break and once prior to the end of the school year) Eastminster will host Blue and Gold Day. These days will feature field-day type activities as well as academic and other non-athletic events and may include Lower School students as well, with Middle School students acting as coaches for Lower School students in their respective events.
At the end of the year, the team who has accumulated the most points is declared the winner. The names of all of the students who were on the winning team will be engraved on the Eastminster Cup and placed in the trophy case.
