Spirit Week

Since Spirit Week has shredded any ounce of motivation I have and brought a full-fledged case of Senioritis, I'll just write about that.  Spirit Week as a senior is definitely the most fun.  We won the hallway decorating, did a pretty well earning points for dressing up, won a second year of Powder Puff, and I'm pretty confident about field day since it's basically rigged in our favor.  It's fun to see everyone so full of school spirit during field day, although I'm not sure if that's out of earnest Falcon Pride or some sort of tribal instinct... Either way it'll be fun to be the ones in black this year!

  1. I must say that agree with you when you say that spirit week is definitely the most fun part about being a senior during Spirit Week. I must say it is disappointing that we did not win the bucket being that it is our last year and we never will get another chance to win it again. I had lots of fun during Spirit Week despite the final outcome of the score. The week after Spirit Week was the most dreadful. It was bad enough that the momentum of our senior year was on a decline for some, but the boasting from juniors and the comments from people saying that it is not that serious made me a little angry. I must say I still had a great time.

  2. Spirit week seems to bring out the best in our school, the one time a year that pretty much everyone gets along fine. Well of course before we lost the bucket, but that mess is for a different post. Something about the idea of being silly and competitive together as a school helps bring everyone together, the heat of competition and collaboration makes this school feel a lot more alive for that one week. The rest of the year, the school is just split into a bunch of different clicks, people with similar interests and backgrounds, but for one week we all seem to be apart of something bigger, in which we all have to work together. Being a senior and running in with all black made for an even better field day, and it has been fun to see our grade progress throughout these four years.
