Lucy '27 and Cece '29
Friday, April 10, was National Siblings Day, and the Wooster community is full of so many sets of siblings! From the forever-lasting bonds to the competitiveness, these relationships shape everyday life, both in and out of school. The students at Wooster who have siblings in the community shared what it’s like to go to school together, whether it’s the challenging moments or the unwavering support that comes with it. For some, that means playing sports with each other and pushing each other to do their best, while for others it’s simply having someone to lean on when school gets stressful.
For many siblings at Wooster, the small interactions are the most meaningful moments that make their day just a little brighter. Lucy ’27 and her younger sister Cece ’29 joined Wooster in 2021.
“There is no experience quite like smiling at ur little sister in passing or having someone to talk to after a particularly bad math test,” Lucy said. Small moments like these show how having a sibling at school can make the hard and overwhelming days easier.
Sports also play a large role in sibling connection, even if that means just watching each other play and being each other’s biggest cheerleaders. Amelia ‘28 joined Wooster in 2024 with her brother Melky ‘30 when they were in 9th and 7th grade.

“I love being able to go watch him play sports, and I love when he comes to watch my games too,” Amelia ‘28 said.
Even though siblings can be fun, they definitely have their challenges!
“Sometimes he makes me late to school,” Amelia added.
While watching your sibling play a sport from the sidelines is fun, playing with them is even more special. Sydney ‘28 came to Wooster in 2024, and her sister Jorja ‘29 joined her this year. They play soccer and lacrosse together.
“Playing a sport with my sister is nice because it’s a time for her and me to bond on a team together,” Jorja said.
Siblings who attend school together also get the opportunity to share friends, experiences and will always have someone by their side.
“I love having a sister at school with me because it’s a great opportunity to make friends with people who are older than me and having someone to look up to,” Melky ’30 said.
Having an older sibling who will always look out for you, give you constant support and make memories with you is one of the best perks of going to school with a sibling. Milo ‘29 loves going to school with his older brother, Luca ‘26.
“My favorite part about having a brother at school is the morning drives, blasting music in the car and overall having a friend that will never leave my side,” Milo ’29 said.
National Siblings Day is a day to appreciate the relationships that will always be a part of daily life and to show gratitude to the sets of siblings who make such a strong impact in our community.
