Changing Things Up With Spirit Week

It was Spirit Week on campus this week, sponsored by the Student Council. Spirit Week brings excitement to campus, and during a snowy February, excitement is always welcome. Day one was School Colors day, where everyone sported their best red, white, and blue. See photos from that day here. It was also Headmaster Emeritus Stuart Chase’s birthday. As a surprise, the whole school sang “Happy Birthday” to him during lunch. Watch a video of that here.

 

Valentine’s Day coincided with day two of Spirit Week, so the campus was awash in shades of red and pink. See photos here. Day three was Crazy Day. You could wear your clothes backwards, sport a nutty wig, or put on way too many ties. Anything goes on a crazy day. Photos from that day can be found here. Day four was United Nations Day, where students and teachers celebrated their cultural heritage. Photos here.

 

Dress Down Day wrapped up winter Spirit Week 2017. Everyone who wanted to dress down paid $1. The money raised will go to a local charity. Photos of Dress Down Day are here. “Spirit Week is a great way to increase spirit and participation on campus,” said Qais ’18. And, as Theo ’18 said, “it changes things up,” which is always fun.
