School spirit any1?!

<p>My high school really doesnt have that much school spirit and they have to have a spirit club just to try and get some more in the school...is that lame or what?</p>

<p>no not really</p>

<p>no its not lame.sometimes I have no school spirit, but then there's certain times..like the first and last football games, blowout basketball games, homecoming week..that I have so much school spirit haha and i love it.
why don't people have spirit at your school?</p>

<p>No, it's the same at my school. Generally, only kids who are on the team actually care.</p>

<p>Why is that lame?</p>

<p>its lame because we have to have a club around to help with the school spirit when people should already have it and want to show it.</p>

<p>We have A LOTTTTT of school spirit. Easily the most in the district, and from what I've heard, in all the surrounding areas.</p>

<p>It is awesome - I mean, it sounds corny but I think its so awesome to see a 1000 different people with different interests, ideas, thought, etc. just coming together to support GOLD, GREEN, AND BLUE!!!! :D It's awesome. </p>

<p>And we do a have "spirit awareness" club, but basically thats just to earn Leadership class credit and to help out with activities for the Friday's we have 1 lunch for the entire school (we always have an activity, whether its a limbo contests, foot-ball-on-knees when Football season starts, hula lessons when the weather starts turning nice, etc.)</p>

<p>I absolutely love my school as far as the spirit factor goes - It just makes it all enjoyable :)</p>

<p>hahah. I think it depends on the school. Our school doesn't have a spirit club, and well..no one shows school spirit. we don't even have a homecoming dance.</p>

<p>Wow... my school is extremely spirited. The student body even made our own spirit club with a whole line of clothing. haha</p>

<p>Football games/pep rallys... all that jazz.</p>

<p>I think my school has moderate school spirit. It seems that people only care when the school wins big games or at the state level though.</p>

<p>Then again, who am I to evaluate the enthusiasm towards sports when I surround myself with those that could care less. Personally, I don't see the point...waste of energy.</p>

<p>technol21, well said. haha</p>

<p>every new season we have a spirit assembly during school hours where we do random stuff to get us fired up about school athletics. a lot of people ditch it even though security guards are on the lookout and chase you down the street if you try to escape--yeah it's that bad. we've had everything from a fake quidditch match to the special education kids' basketball team play our girls varsity team.</p>

<p>you have a special ed team play your girl's varsity team?
uhhh...</p>

<p>they had them lose on purpose. but it was still painful to watch from a moral perspective.</p>

<p>I think it's admirable that the school wants to up their spirit. However, I think most schools go about it the wrong way.</p>

<p>My school has people who have a lot of school spirit. But I don't go to pep fests or anything...</p>

<p>Barley anyone cares about the outcome of school games here. I might start caring more now that I joined the marching band.</p>
