Spirit Week and Pep Rally
Next week, we are having a week long spirit week that will culminate in a pep rally at the end of the day on Friday. Each day, beginning Monday April 10th, students are encouraged to dress up for the day’s theme to create some fun and spirit before we get set to have a week off for much needed rest! Here are each day’s concepts so you can help your student find something to wear daily:
*Monday = Pajama/pajama bottom day
*Tuesday = Sport team/ jersey day
*Wednesday = Dress from decade day (70’s, 80’s, 90’s)
*Thursday = Formal Day (Dress to impress)
*Friday – Color day ( 5th graders wear Blue, 6th graders wear black, 7th graders wear white, 8th graders wear maroon)
On Friday, we will have an all school pep rally where members from each team will participate in some friendly competitions in the gym. The student council has worked hard to prepare for this and are excited to bring our school together and bring excitement before spring vacation begins!
