Spirit Week is a time to show school spirit and have a good time, and that happened during SHA’s Spirit Week. In a poll conducted by The Griffiner students gave Spirit Week an average score of 8 on a scale of 10. 

There was participation from students, staff, and the principal too. The themes changed every day, challenging students to get creative and show some school spirit. The week ended just before Halloween with a costume-themed day.

“A majority of the school participated in every day/event and the last day went really well,” said Ashley Judkins, a senior.

“I liked the different days,” said Kalis Orlandi-Long, a sophomore, “and being able to see what everyone was wearing made the week more fun. Also it was nice to see how the staff participated. Even Principal HD’s twin joined in the fun.

Though most students rated Spirit Week as a lot of fun and a great way to make memories, according to some students there was a downside to it as well. “There weren’t any activities to match the themes. It was like a normal week but dress down, and that’s boring” said Legacy Moye, a freshman. For some people dress-up wasn’t the most fun and creative way to have a good time.

“I feel like if we had different themes, like 90’s day, it would’ve been way better,” said Taylor Holmes, a sophomore. Some students believed that there should have been other themes that they believed would involve more creativity and with that, more participation.
