Absolutely not! No one will ask you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

You will have several chances to exercise at Odyssey!  Besides recess after lunch and P. E., we have an exercise break in the morning.  You might participate in soccer, dancing, aerobics, and walking.

8. What should I wear?

You might feel most comfortable dressing according to our dress code, although this is a decision for you and your parents. Lower Schoolers wear navy or khaki pants, a collared shirt (white, navy or evergreen) and a sweatshirt (navy, khaki, evergreen or gray.) Middle School boys wear ties and solid button- down dress shirts. Tennis shoes are fine.
