Spirit Weeks

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>What all do you guys do at your schools for activities, themes of the day, etc...?</p>

2

<p>It's lame at my school because no one's spirited. We have: Hat Day, Tacky Day, School Spirit Day, College Team Day..and yet another that I can't remember in which no one participates.</p>

3

<p>Do you always have the same days?</p>

4

<p>Yep. Always the same.</p>

<p>I always push for hippie day but get denied lol.</p>

5

<p>And I thought we were boring...</p>

6

<p>We get detentions for wearing hats.</p>

<p>Haha at my school you get ISS. And the assistant principal tells you to find Jesus if it's a yarmulke..if you haven't read this article (I started a thread on it), you should:

<p>Our school goes all out during Spirit Week. It gets really crazy and heated.</p>

9

<p>Kids in my school wouldn't know what spirit was if it hit them in the face. </p>

<p>Yes, I recall reading that article a week or two ago. Funny...hah. Well not for the kid, but yeah.</p>

10

<p>I interviewed my school principal about that issue for the school newspaper, and this is one of the brilliant man's direct quotes:</p>

<p>"I think Green Hope's pretty accepting of religious differences..you've got kids who practice Hindu and Asian..and they all get along as far as I can tell.."</p>

<p>I'm so glad he enlightened me. I didn't know Asian was a religion..</p>

<p>Most people get into color day.</p>

<p>This week was/is kind of boring...</p>

<p>Monday: Hawaiian Day
Tuesday: Apron Day
Wednesday: Roll Outta Bed Day
Thursday: Color Day (juniors are big blue!)
Friday: John Hancock Day</p>

12

<p>Too many ignant ppl out there.</p>

<p>Psh, juniors.</p>

13

<p>Oooh yeah--we had Blast from the Past Day once. I wore my mom's old letter jacket and jeans. It was fun. Except jeans came to like your ribcage in the '70s.</p>

14

<p>our school's pretty intense...</p>

<p>we've had hawaiian day, superhero day, purple and gold (school colours) day, sports day, hmm...some other ones. don't remember</p>

15

<p>Duck Tape/Tin Foil Day was fun...</p>

16

<p>tako, I heard that the junior class won. Sounded pretty cool. =)</p>

17

<p>we have no spirit. except for homecoming week. other than that people with spirit for things other than sports are viewed as strange. a real shame.</p>

i find that quite funny.</p>

<p>We already had our pathetic version of Spirit Week, but it was stupid. No one at my school has any spirit. </p>

<p>They have stupid days like cross dress day, things like that.</p>

19

<p>I think one's perception of Spirit Week changes as one moves up the high school hierarchy. </p>

<p>I used to think Spirit Weeks were retarded and pointless in Freshman year, but now I am (guiltily) thinking that they are pretty fun. Hey, it provides some excitement and change in the dull tedium of school, you know? =p</p>

<p>^ BTW, crossdressing day is fun...too bad our (Christian) school is too conservative to consider that as an option.</p>

20

<p>I don't even know if we have one anymore lol.</p>
