What is Spirit Week?

Spirit Week is when students participate in activities to show their school pride. It is usually held the week before the Homecoming game and dance. Rebecca D’Ostilio, the Board of Governor’s treasurer, believes “the outcome for spirit week is going to be amazing!” Many students love Spirit Week because “it’s the one week in the year when everyone in the school can just have fun,” as D’Ostilio put. 

“Spirit Week will only be four days this year because we have a holiday on Monday [Sept. 30th] D’Ostilio said. As a result, the BOG Executive Council will be incorporating fun events into the school week. Students can post pictures of themselves during spirit week and tweet it to the BOG twitter to earn the chance of winning a Bagelman gift card.
