Although admittedly nervous about how Adam Sandler Day and Anything But a Backpack Day would go, Principal John Duellman was happy with how the final spirit week of the year turned out. “It was an outstanding spirit week,” Duellman said. “The goal is always to maximize participation and our SCA has done a great job this year.” 

Monday: Denim Day 

Denim Day kicked off the last spirit week of the year, with the SCA encouraging students to wear as much denim as they could. Even though jeans are a typical everyday article of clothing, Counseling Secretary Jackie Sanabria wanted to make sure she participated, since it is the last spirit week of the school year.

Tuesday: Pajama vs. Professional Day

For Pajamas vs Professional Day, students wore their favorite pajamas or their most professional attire. Even though most students wore their pajamas to school, some sported their most professional attire. “It was a chance for me to dress cute, even though I had to sit in study hall for three hours,” sophomore Haley Sutton said, referring to the testing schedule for the day.

Wednesday: Anything but a Backpack Day

This spirit day had students planning in advance as they schemed about what creative items could hold their belongings for the day. This spirit day also saw the most participation from students.“I really appreciate how [the SCA] went out with a bang,” senior Alexa Kim said. “[The idea of Anything But a Backpack Day] is something interesting and new and a trend,” 

Thursday: Adam Sandler Day

For the fourth spirit day of the week, students dressed up as Adam Sandler in baggy clothes. Some went all out wearing socks and sandals, with some girls even wearing their brothers’ or dads’ clothes. “I love the school spirit, I like to participate in spirit weeks because it’s fun to do,” sophomore Manasvi Sharma said. Sharma wore a long white shirt with a collar and swim trunks that belonged to her father. 

Senior Tanyka Matthias also participated in Adam Sandler day. “The people that I have seen so far went all out, it looks really good,” Matthias said. She paired her baggy clothes with sunglasses and a cap.

Friday: Class Colors

For the final spirit day of the school year, each grade represented their class by wearing their assigned color. Freshmen wore black, sophomores sported gray, juniors wore white, and seniors wore red in the form of their senior class t-shirts.

Even though a mattress would be heavy to carry around the school, sophomore Hilton Foley went with it. “I wanted something unique and I wanted to stand out from the rest,” Foley said. To make the mattress work, Foley decided to cut open the mattress and put his stuff in along with a pillow for support and cushion.
