During Salad Spirit Week, each dress-up day was named for a salad dressing. Monday=Ranch Day, so people wore cowboy/western clothes; Tuesday=Thousand Islands, so people wore beach/tropical attire; Wednesday=Caesar, so people wore togas (in accordance with school dress code, of course); Thursday=blue cheese day, so people wore all blue; Friday=Salad day, so people wore green, which is one of our school colors. In addition to dressing up each day, lunchtime activities ranged from salad bowling (use a head of lettuce as a bowling ball and cucumber halves as pins) to salad toss (a blindfolded person had to throw salad fixings backwards as their partner tried to catch them with a salad bowl). Prizes included salads and salad bar gift certificates from Sizzler. The students had fun with the activities, and teachers and students alike appreciated the creativity of the salad-themed week.
