Spring Spirit Week 2017: Thursday Recap
As Spring Spirit Week 2017 continued to unfold, Thursday proved to be another exciting day filled with energy, creativity, and school pride. The enthusiasm among students and faculty was palpable, as everyone embraced the day’s theme and participated in various activities that celebrated school spirit.
Themed Dress-Up Day
Thursday’s theme revolved around "Throwback Thursday," prompting students and staff to dig into their closets for fashion from past decades. From the vibrant styles of the ’80s, complete with leg warmers and oversized neon accessories, to the grunge look of the ’90s characterized by flannel shirts and combat boots, the hallways were alive with nostalgia. Teachers also joined in the fun, sporting attire that represented their favorite eras, which not only sparked conversation among students but also fostered a sense of community.
Lunchtime Activities
During lunch, the school cafeteria transformed into a hub of excitement. Several clubs and organizations set up booths showcasing their initiatives and engaging with students. Students could participate in fun games, such as a hula-hooping contest and retro trivia challenges, with prizes awarded to the winners. The atmosphere was lively, with laughter and friendly competition defining the lunchtime experience.
Engaging with Spirit Day Competitions
One of the highlights of Thursday was the much-anticipated Spirit Point competitions. Classes rallied together, showcasing their creativity and collaborative spirit in a series of friendly contests. These competitions included a tug-of-war match, a pie-eating contest, and a dance-off, each designed to promote teamwork and school pride. A spirit rally culminated the day, with teams performing skits and cheers that highlighted their class’s personality and enthusiasm.
Community Involvement
The spirit of collaboration extended beyond the school walls, as local businesses joined in on the fun. Some establishments offered discounts to students who came in wearing their throwback attire, reinforcing the connection between the school and the community. This initiative allowed students to enjoy a special treat while also supporting local merchants, fostering a sense of partnership that benefits everyone involved.

Students were eager to don their school’s colors, rallying together to show their identity and pride as a unified group. With the spirit week nearing its conclusion, students reflected on the collective experience that had enhanced their camaraderie and sense of belonging.
Conclusion
