With the significant stress that midterms week brings, it can be hard for Salesian students to see the light at the end of the tunnel and live in the holiday spirit. Among the Alliance party, however, the holiday spirit came in spades! After a back-breaking barrage of tests today, over forty advocates of the LGBTQ+ community celebrated the season with an afternoon of baked goods and brotherhood, among them returning alumni Tony Denney, Quinn Murphy, and Aidan O’Neill. Full of Christmas cheer, the Alliance club sets a shining example for those succumbing to the stress of the tests this week, reminding the rest of the Salesianum community to celebrate themselves and the season by being who they are, and being that well.
