Student Traditions
Meaningful Moments That Build Our Community
At Southside our traditions are a way we celebrate our school and community. Through meaningful events that bring students, families, and staff together, we celebrate faith, friendship, and growth in joyful and memorable ways.
Southside Christian School Student Traditions
Our school celebrates a variety of traditions and events each year—offerings may vary, making every season special.

Students build friendships, strengthen their faith, and practice leadership through shared outdoor adventures and reflection.

Each fall, students walk or run to support school programs while promoting health and teamwork.
This fun fitness event encourages school spirit, builds community, and supports classroom needs through student-led fundraising.
