Students react to Spirit Week

Allie Nadelman and Lilli Konicoff • Feb 27, 2019
“I liked how they were different from past spirit weeks and a lot of people participated,” Lindsey Hancock, junior

Starting off second semester with a spirit week was a hit among the student body; there were complications surrounding the date change of Glo and the missing school days because of inclement weather, but overall the week of spirit was completed. Here are some student reactions.

  • “I was fine with it. I didn’t really care. I liked how the spirit days changed.” Eric Rees, Freshman

  • “To tell you the truth, I only do spirit because I’m in poms but I just don’t have time to find a doctor’s outfit.” Callie Metzman, sophomore

  • “I ain’t really go to none of the spirit week. Everyone said it was going to be boring so I wasn’t going to spend my money on that.” Nick Boone, senior.
