Traditions
The Marist uniform is a tradition that has changed little over the decades. Boys wear gray trousers with a belt, a blue, yellow or white oxford shirt and specified shoes. Girls wear a Marist plaid skort with the oxford shirt and saddle shoes. During the winter, all students wear a navy blazer or letter jacket and boys wear a Marist tie. Since its inception, approximately 25% of the Marist student body have been students from other faith traditions. Events include St. Peter Chanel Day, an outdoor field day in the spring, as well as Holiday Traditions, an arts and crafts fair held in October.

Famous quotes containing the word traditions:
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
