As the year is coming to a close, leadership has some exciting activities planned, including spirit week, a rally, and a college day activity.
May 16-20 marks the last spirit week of the year. Here are the spirit days:
Monday: College Day
Tuesday: Country Day
Wednesday: Workout Day
Thursday: Surf’s up Day
Friday: Pass the Paw day (seniors wear their jerseys, juniors wear tie dye, sophomores wear red, freshmen wear white)
The Goodbye Rally will take place May 20 on the field. “Students can expect a heated battle of the bands featuring Roanan McCaa and Peter Habelt…. As well as a competitive game of hamster ball soccer” Tori Crisostomo-Rickman, one of the rally co-commissioners, said.
Additionally, “you can expect a [possible] guest appearance from our new principal” rally co-commissioner Julia Servulo added. Both rally commissioners are extremely excited to tie dye shirts that will be given away at the rally, but “my favorite part will probably be the hamster balls” Servulo said.
Seniors will also have the opportunity to participate in a special entrance to the rally, where the entire school will have the chance to recognize their contributions to the school over the past four years.
On College Day, Monday May 16, there will be an activity during lunch on the stage. Seniors will have the opportunity to write on a card what they are excited for after graduation and these cards will be displayed around campus. Also, underclassmen can write letters to the seniors that will be passed out to them.
