At the end of the winter season there is approximately one week (see calendar for exact dates) where there is no required regular sports program leading into the March Break.  Day students may be picked up at 2:50 if they wish.  For boarders and any day students who wish/need to stay, there will be an informal activity program offered each day until 4:10. Activities will range from alternative games, community service, or study hall for those who need to catch up or get ahead on their work. There are no tryouts or formal practices. A detailed listing of the offerings for the week will be posted on My Fessy and the divisional bulletin boards approximately one week before Mudweek starts. Any day student not participating should be picked up at 2:50.

On this day competitive teams gather to celebrate their experience and bring closure to the season.  Because this is a very busy time of the year, all teams will celebrate during the normal sports time (3:00-4:00) beginning with a slide show in the PAC, followed by individual team presentations in designated classrooms.  There is no separate Sub-Varsity and Varsity afternoon/evening celebrations in the spring.  It all takes place in the afternoon.  Parents who can make it are still cordially invited at this afternoon time.
