Schoenherr had participated in spirit week for many years, and it had become a tradition for her. “I want to be more spirited and I’ve dressed up every single year for spirit days.

Watch out! Getting pushed in a shopping cart, officer Lauren Weiss makes her way through the commons during anything but a backpack spirit day.

It was a cool moment,” Weiss said.
