Journal #10 School Spirit

School spirit is a great thing to have. It is great to show support for your school and show that you care about your fellow class mates, sports teams, and also the school itself. This week we are having spirit week for Homecoming and there are many ways to show school spirit during this week. Each day has its own theme and if you do that theme then you earn your class points. Each class competes to see who can get the most points. The themes were hat/jersey on Monday, cowboy/cowgirl on Tuesday, mis-match on Wednesday, class color on Thursday, and spirit day on Friday. Along with the spirit week days to earn points you also earn for your class float in the parade as well as various activities during the Friday prep rally in the afternoon. There are many activities during the prep rally and participating in them shows that you have much school spirit. These activities include the tug of war, baby bottle chug, partner dress, refrigerator box run, and also the balloon stop. Doing on of these or a whole bunch of these of these activities show you want to participate for your class as well as you showing school spirit. To show school spirit is very important. You should be very proud of your school and proud to go there. Having a spirit week not only shows school spirit to the fullest but, it also gets you excitied to go to school and try and beat all the other classes. The teachers show school spirit because, they do not usually give homework during Homecoming week so that the students can have as much fun with the week as possible and show their school spirit. Along with not giving homework the teachers also showed school spirit themeselves by dressing up.
