No one knows school spirit like the staff and students at WHS! This week, we had our annual fall spirit week where everyone dressed up in a specific theme for that day. 

The themes for each day were; Monday: Flannel Day, Tuesday: Neon Wars, Wednesday: Pink Out, Thursday: Anything but a Backpack, and lastly Friday: WHS Colors, which ended this great week with a pep rally! 

We interviewed Kelly Vallera, a senior at WHS, to see what she thought about spirit week, and she had a lot to say! “I loved spirit week, there was so much school spirit!” she said, “The themes for this spirit week were so much fun, however, I only participated in flannel day, pink day, and eagle colors day.” The reason for this being that she didn’t have the right attire.

Senior Dylan Romagnoli participated in the games that they had at lunch, saying “I liked it because you got prizes and they were fun.”

One of those games he played was, “What would you do for a Klondike Bar?” He answered a question and won a Klondike bar for answering. Another one he completed was where you have a fruit roll up race with a friend.

We also interviewed LMC specialist Mrs. Harding and she said, “Spirit week was so amazing! Honestly, I was super surprised that students along with staff participated. Usually, no one ever does, so to see WHS actually have school spirit is just wonderful!” She also stated, “I loved pink day, it was definitely my favorite. I just wish I could’ve participated in more days. Overall, it was such a blast and I’m also glad we ended this week with a pep rally.”

As you can tell, students and staff had such a great time participating in spirit week. Everyone, including us, loved spirit week and if you’re reading this and are contemplating whether or not you should participate in an upcoming spirit week, DEFINITELY DO!
