Spirit Week
A wacky and fun-filled week always preceeds
homecoming. The students and staff enjoy
wearing specific clothing that can be silly,
colorful, or even animal prints!
Monday was Pajama Day. Some students
wore shorts and T-shirts while several creative
students wore long johns with feet.
Tuesday was sports themes. Packers and
Brewers and Cubs and Bears filled the
hallways.
Wednesday was a vividly noticeable day with
each class in a different color: Freshmen
wore green, sophomores wore pink, and
juniors were seen in blue while seniors
dressed in black. In addition, staff wore
purple.
Thursday had a new twist. Students wore
various animal prints and/or dressed as an
animal.
Friday of course was the traditional red and
white school Colors Day. The gymnasium
was a sea of red and white with all students
and staff showing support during the
afternoon Pep Rally.
