Angelus_Necare Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 are any highschools having their spirit week? Mine's in progress today here's the run down: Monday- Wacky hair day Tuesday- Dress like your idol/hero day Wednesday- Retro day Thursday- Mismatch day Friday- Blue and White (school colors) day. And friday afternoon will have the pep rally, or prep rally however people see it. Today I'm dressed up but people don't know who I am, I guess not enough people have the taste to watch monty python's flying circus, oh well... It was dissapointing this year that there was no hat day or pyjama day, maybe next year but I won't be here. So what kind of spirit week does your school have, if any?

Queen Asuka Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 [color=hotpink][size=1]I loved Spirit Week in high school. My Freshman year, I dressed up for every single day. Then, throughout the years, I found myself picking and choosing days. But I always did PURPLE AND GOLD DAY! Go Hounds! WHOO! Okay, got to get over highschool, got to get over highschool, got to get over highschool...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I always showed my school spirit by not giving a **** and dressing like I did every other day. I don't remember the different days we had, but they were a lot like these ones. It never really interested me. The pep rallies at the end of the week were always great though. We all had a lot of fun at them, especially at the expense of the Freshmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shy Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 [size=1]I never cared very much for school spirit weeks. In fact, my dislike of them is what first inspired me to write angry rants in my high school newspaper. Without them I probably wouldn't have pursued my interest in Journalism as much as I have, so I'm grateful for them in that respect. Anyway, we always had things like Hawaiian Days, Pirate Days, Nerd Days, Sports Days and the ultra-generic Class Color Days. In my opinion, things like this only work if the entire class is doing it. If it's just a few random people from the student government who participate then nobody really cares. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transtic Nerve Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Alot of people used to participate at my school.... we had pajama day, twin day, School Color day, and some other two days... it was pretty fun. School Spirit week was always the "none cared" week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyGirl Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 [color=deeppink]As a cheeleader, I was required to dress up for every spirit day. But I actually didn't mind, when I was a senior I didn't really give a **** what I wore or how I looked during that week. The best day was always pajama day. Though, when my senior year did roll around, pajama day wasn't too different from how I dressed every other day of that school year. And I always loved the days when I got to wear my cheerleading uniform to school...oh, they were so cute! Any physical activity that requires the participant to wear a short skirt is way cool in my book ^_~. How shallow do I sound? Very? Well, I don't really care :p[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinmaru Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 School Spirit weeks...I never really gave a crap about them at all. At our school it was just another opportunity for the popular kids to show off. Bastards. The pep-rallies at our school are god-awful...there are so many kids at our school, we have to have all rallies outside in the heat. As if there wasn't already enough reason for me to loathe them...

WW2 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Heh, my old high school used to have a spirit week. They always had stupid stuff like Beach Day, 70's Day, etc. I, having no school spirit, didn't really care enough to paricipate. I mainly found it amusing what people would wear. Damn they looked stupid.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostProphet Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 [color=blue][font=arial] All I remember from Spirit Week is Camo Day. The one day of the year I could wear BDUs since I was in ROTC....and I ended up wearing Jeans with my dad's Security Forces Jacket.

stardust Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I had spirit days,sometimes I participate,sometimes I don't...oh well,it just depends what mood I'm in.

Sara Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 [size=1]This is our Homecoming week. Our schedule this year is Monday: [b]Pajama Day.[/b] Tuesday: [b]Crazy Hair and Clash Day.[/b] Wednesday: [b]Twin Day.[/b] Thursday: [b]Costume Day.[/b] Friday: [b]Spirit Day[/b]. (Wear purple and gold.) We actually have a [i]lot[/i] of people participating, which is interesting, I guess. I've never done anything in the past, but I guess I'm going to dress as "twins" with one of my friends tomorrow. So, we'll see. The funniest day I remember was "Dress Like a Teacher Day," which was just a lot of fun. I got to put together the yearbook page for that, heh.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrmngfangrl Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 uh i never dress for spirit week...well, i would if i had a pirate outfit, but i dont. tear. pep rallies are so cool cause our school is so big they have to have 3 diff showings even with the big gym and all and two thirds of the school just skip it for an extra lunch period. yeah, pep rallies are great. ~_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carr Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 [color=tomato] Spirit week is just a fun, excuse to dress up like an idiot and run around like you are nuts....um, not that that's any different from the norm....: ) Anywhoo, I have friends that get real excited about it and that's fun, but I have friends who don't even try *ahemsaraahem* to participate. To each his own, right. Another great thing about spirit week is the funny looks you get from people when you are going to or from school. today was crazy hair day and I had pipe cleaners sticking out of my head at all angles, and as I was driving to school, people in the other cars were laughing and doing double takes all down the road. It was so funny.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwai Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 We do have something like a School Spirit Week, but the thing is, only the seniors know when it is, and only seniors dress/act accordingly. Usually about half the senior class dress up, be it pajamas, hawaiian, twins, etc. etc. What I find funny is that we have a day called "no school" day in our spirit week, and all the seniors are just too happy to oblige. Not one, and I mean not one senior will show up for the "no school" day. Strange that teachers never comment on these... I think I'll push for a week of "no school" day when I become a senior...

It was the "color guard" rally, where the freshman, sophomore, juniors, and seniors had to wear a different color. We had little competitions, and, of course, the freshman were booed-a-plenty.

School spirit isn't really my thing, I guess. It's fun to see other people do it. But if wearing pajamas to school involves freezing at my bus stop, or "crazy hair" day requires getting up before six AM to pur curliques in my hair...well, like I said. Not really my thing. I'm sort of passive about it, heh. [/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sara [/i] [B][size=1]Friday: [b]Spirit Day[/b]. (Wear purple and gold.)[/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [color=hotpink][size=1]Yay! Your high school is purple and gold, too! I always thought they were the greatest colors because not many people had them. There were way too many red/blacks and blue/golds. Of course, UGA is red/black, but I still like the uniqueness of Purple and Gold! ^_^ And about PJ day, my school had it my Freshman and Sophomore year, but my Junior year, they didn't have it. So TONS of students signed a petition to have PJ day, but they still didn't approve it. So one of the days, they wore PJs as their costume. It was a big deal. So my Senior year, they didn't have PJ day again and they said if anyone showed up during any day during spirit week in PJs, they would get sent home. I thought that was a little ridiculous, don't you? And hey, I just realized, but I'm wearing my Purple and Gold Senior shirt. It has my name on it! ^_^[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 [size=1]I always loved Spirit Week, but I also like wearing costumes and acting, so that's kind of what the entire week was for me - one big chance to goof off, under the pretense of school spirit. Yeah!! But we had PJs day, Blast from the Past, Twins day, one was just a general costume day (I think it was close to Halloween), Hat day, Wacky Tacky Day, and just a regular old Spirit day (Blue and Silver were our colors), to name a few. I have to take a note from Queen Asuka though and remind myself that I'm not IN high school anymore (even though I'm wearing my thespian shirt T.T)... eheh.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all the teachers would have tests/quizzes on that day just because of that. And if you missed them, there was no possible way to make them up. It was that hard. Of course, I never skipped anyway.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokopoko Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 [COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1][B]Coming from England, as I do, I have never had to endure a 'School Spirit' week, and from what I have read I'm very glad of that. Though all the 'days' would have had made a change seeing as my school has uniforms, the closest we got to was 'Non uniform day'. But I don't have to wear uniform anymore ^_^, thats cause I'm what we commonly call '6th Form', which is the last two years of school which we choose to come back. And as for feeling thankful for my school and 'patriotic' about it I could never go that far :sweat: I'm still suprised that most, if not all, American schools begin the day with the Pledge of Alligence.[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
