I am the Student Council sponsor. As one of our days for spirit week we had "Holi"-day. Each class (7-12) and the faculty drew a holiday; we used St. Patrick’s, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, July 4th, New Year's, and Valentine's Day. Each class was to dress up as that holiday. What a blast!!! The students really got into this one; it really surpassed my expectations.
We had some very macho guys come as Easter eggs (including wearing of the tights). Our other days were Hawaiian day, Punk Rock day, Blast From the Past (anything goes) this was great too! During lunchtime we had karaoke, tricycle relay races and 3-legged relay races between classes, and limbo contests. I am already looking for ideas to bring to my council members for next year. Even ideas for Homecoming themes and ideas to add to the week. We shook things up this year (changed some traditions) and the school spirit skyrocketed.
