You're going to like Moms' Weekend... He guarantees it!
...is something that NO Steds moms should miss! To ensure a fun-filled weekend, Hall President Griffin Hilly appointed a Steds sophomore who had not only an eye for detail but also a certain joie de vivre. Jackson Herrfeldt was that sophomore, and when I caught up him, here's what Jackson had to say about the upcoming Moms' Weekend, the weekend of April 1st through the 3rd....
St.Ed: I hear that you were appointed the Hall’s commissioner for Moms’ Weekend. How did you land this important commission? With did you have help from Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Jackson... maybe Ben Franklin?
Herrfeldt: Well I feel I just was right for job, having been voted Best to Bring Home to Parents for my high school Superlatives. Mom's just like me. I don't know what it is.
St. Ed: Why would a mom of a St. Ed's Gentleman want to attend this Moms’ Weekend? In the words of Admiral Akbar, that talking fish head in the Return of the Jedi, sounds like “it’s a trap.” Sounds like a weekend of cleaning rooms and doing laundry.
Herrfeldt: It's a truly fun weekend that allows the Mother's to see their sons in their natural habitat. Mother's get to meet their sons new friends and new mothers, all while enjoying fun nights and delicious dinners.
St.Ed: Without letting the proverbial cat out of bag, what are you doing this year to make this weekend even more memorable and magical than last year’s weekend?
Herrfeldt: I appreciated all that was done at the last Mom's Weekend. So I want to make sure I respect the tradition while also putting my own spin on the weekend. This year locations will be different as well as some of the activities. However, it is gonna be just as fun as a weekend as ever.
St.Ed: Why aren't you doing a Dads’ Weekend? Isn’t that discrimination? Just saying…
Herrfeldt: I feel if we had a Dad's Weekend, we would burn down the Hall yet again.
St.Ed: If Moms’ Weekend was a political candidate, trying to get moms to attend, what would its slogan be?
Herrfeldt: In the words of Taylor Swift, "We never go out of style."
