Spirit week. When I think of spirit week I think of fun crazy outfits and good times. For people that don't know spirit week is a week where each day has a different theme and students are encouraged to participate by dressing up according to the theme. Some of the more popular themes are things like neon day, lazy day and color outs (you wear what ever color is decided such as black or white). Some of the more creative ideas are classy day, America day and today's theme at my school: super hero day.
When participating in spirit week there is a certain level of participation that shows that you are involved but not over the top. Some people decide to totally disregard the whole week and wear normal clothes while others are putting on face paint and dying their hair. I guess it depends on each persons level of confidence and desire to stand out. You can tell by walking around school on spirit week who has enough confidence to look ridiculous in front of everyone and who is more comfortable blending in.
The whole purpose of spirit week is to make people feel united and it brings everyone together. It is a fun way to make school more interesting. An example of this happened at my school earlier this year when we lost a classmate to cancer. Everyone wore purple to show support for him including teachers. It was really amazing to see how many people wore purple and bought the shirts that were made in honor of him. It showed how group of people can come together in the wake of a tragedy.
Next time you have a chance to participate anything such as spirit week think twice about how your support or lack of can influence your peers. Thanks for reading:)
