Laundry day! On Thursday Sept. 21, sophomore Issa Dababneh participates in “anything but a backpack” spirit day with his laundry basket. Dababneh decided to bring a basket because he wanted to join in on school spirit. “The event was really fun, to be honest, because I got to hang out with other friends who contributed,” said Dababneh.
A rebellious spirit
Memories coated in black. During Friday, senior Carson Landino wears black for school spirit. Landino prioritized wearing black so he could fit in with his friends during the football game. “It was really fun going to the football game and seeing that all my classmates were in the same color,” Landino said.
Knack for black

Not all fun and games
Look out for fun spirit. In the commons sophomore Claire Gifford shows school spirit in everything but a backpack day. For spirit week, she participated because it makes the week fun and is important. “I brought my sister’s Zuca bag and it’s for ice skates,” Gifford said.
Cat carriers, laundry baskets, ice skates oh my
Grab that western gear. Taking advantage of the last year to participate in spirit week, seniors Leah Yancy and Addison Mondoux put their best western outfits on. Yancy wanted to make sure she didn’t miss out and got out her cowgirl accessories. “It's my senior year and I thought why not go all out for all of the spirit days. It's one of the last times we get to do it,” she said.
Wild wild western day
Ride on! Sitting on a mechanical bull during C lunch, sophomore Ashlynn Sakofske participates in western day. “I wish they would have the bull rides every week,” Sakofske said. She liked getting dressed for western day because she thought her outfit was cute.
