Some students, like junior Katie Hutchinson-DiBello, are excited to dress up.
“I love them,” she said, adding that she already has each outfit picked out.
Other students, like junior Alana Williams, are only excited for certain days.
“How do you dress for a career? What if I wanted to be a teacher? You wouldn’t know the difference between my normal clothes or teacher clothes,” Williams said. “But Jungle [the junior’s frontier] Day will be fun. I’m going to be a monkey.”
Regardless of feelings about the days, anyone and everyone can participate. There are ways to make each day match a student’s style.
Junior Derrick Boyce III stated that the Spirit Days weren’t his favorite, but he would still participate.
“For Pajama Day, I’ll wear my granddad’s shoes,” Boyce said. “For Career Day, I’m going to dress as Kobe.”
Spirit Week leads up to the Homecoming football game, parade and dance. Student participation is recorded and each grade’s total percentage is used to determine the winner each day. Points earned are counted toward the week’s competitions to decide a Spirit Week champion.
