Meow! Strolling through a passing period, senior Christian Bush carries a cat carrier for everything but a backpack day. “I think every student must participate in our spirit days and it should be a requirement because it really shows and exemplifies school spirit and excites everyone for homecoming,” Bush said.

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
Behind the scenes. Student council poses for a group photo after preparing for the homecoming pep rally. Summer preparations and bi-weekly meetings brought the board game themed homecoming week together.
Not all fun and games
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. “Its my senior year and I thought why not go all out for all of the spirit days. Its one of the last times we get to do it,” she said.
Wild wild western day
Watch out! Getting pushed in a shopping cart, officer Lauren Weiss makes her way through the commons during anything but a backpack spirit day. Weiss believes participating in spirit days is important, since you only get four years of highschool. “I felt like a superstar, I was waving and everyone was waving back and taking pictures. It was a cool moment,” Weiss said.
Coolers and classwork
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.
