Featuring athletic games and community pride, the Rye City School District will host it's first-ever "G Day" weekend on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6.
The District is excited to kick off what will hopefully become an annual tradition that brings the Rye community together for a series of back-to-back athletic games and other activities.
With ten teams involved, the games will kick off on Friday, April 5, starting at 4:15 p.m. when the Boys Varsity Tennis Team takes on Harrison at Rye Rec, and the Junior Varsity Baseball Team plays against Harrison at Disbrow. The schedule for Saturday, April 6 is as follows:
8 a.m.-5 p.m. Co-Ed Crew at Greenwich Harbor "Grass Island Park"
11 a.m. Varsity Track vs. RCDS at RHS track
12 p.m. Varsity Softball vs. RCDS at RHS
2 p.m. Varsity Baseball vs. Port Chester at Feeley Field
2:30 p.m. Junior Varsity Softball vs. Rye Neck at RHS
2:45 p.m. Girls Junior Varsity Lacrosse vs. Somers at RHS

7 p.m.* Boys Varsity Lacrosse vs. Lakeland at RHS
*Attendance fees of $5 for adults, $3 for students will apply for the 7 pm Boys Varsity Lacrosse game. All other games will be free.
In conjunction with G Day weekend, the District will be fundraising for athletic facilities at the High School. With the help of parent volunteers, there will be several opportunities to contribute to these initiatives throughout the weekend.
The weekend will also feature halftime activities, food and beverages, Garnet spirit wear sales, and live music provided by High School students. Additionally, the Rye Fire Department will be participating in G Day weekend and raising the flag.
Be sure to mark your calendars and save the dates for this weekend full of Garnet pride and fun! G Day T-Shirts will be sold outside the High School cafeteria the week prior to the event for $10 each.
What a fantastic idea. Go RCDS !(ducking)
