We Love Spirit Week!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spirit Week 2009
On Kooky Day, students and staff had fun with their most interesting outfits. On Food Day, costumes included grapes, bananas, berries, ice cream sundaes, peanut butter, and hamburgers. On Fairy Tale Day, there were witches, princesses, kings and queens, some pigs, and three Pinocchios. On Switch Day, there were LOTS of girls dressed as Patti, which this year meant they wore a big "pregnant" belly. We also had at least one of every other faculty/staff member, and a few girls dressed as Daisy the dog. Finally, on School Colors Day, everyone sported their Scarlet and Silver with pride!
