Crazy outfits, school pride, lots of fun. Spirit Week was on October 5th-9th, a week when students and teachers can show and express their school spirit. Friday was the pep rally, a big celebration with the whole school to kick off sports and finish Spirit Week. All in all, the week was filled with awesome outfits for each day of spirit week like Nerd Day. Kevin Spriggs, an employee at Patterson, had an outfit for every day, really showing the school’s pride off. Spirit Week has a big impact on the school and the students. It boosts teachers’ and students’ morale, letting them express their true school spirit, and how much their school means to them.
“It was fun to see students and teachers participate during Spirit Week”, said Valerie Flores, a ninth grade student.
Spirit Week is always fun for the whole school; it’s the week when you can dress in their craziest outfits to show how much you love your school. It’s a tradition to truly let people show their school-loving side.
