Our school has a lot of school spirit, especially for football and other major sports like that. This is why "Spirit Day" of homecoming week is my favorite day of the whole entire school year. All of the students and most of the teachers dress up in the school colors of red and blue. Then we all pile into our designated sections of the bleachers- separated into our classes- and yell and each other and shout back and forth and whatnot.
During Spirit Day, there are a lot of fun activities that we get to do. The egg drop, the refrigerator box race, the lip-sync, the balloon stomp, and the toilet paper wrapping are a couple of the activities that the classes do to compete against each other in the games. Most of the time, the seniors get first place for homecoming week, and the freshmen get last place. Usually, that's the way things work. Points are also awarded for the float that each class designs/makes for the parade that kicks off homecoming week, and for the "days" that happen the week before. These year, the days included 80's Day, Cowgirl/Cowboy Day, and Class Color Day, all of which led up to Spirit Day on Friday. Each class was awarded additional points for the percentage of people in their class that showed school spirit and actually participated in the daily theme. I myself only participated in 3 out of 4, but oh well.
Even though I had to miss Spirit Day this year, I still love it. It is seriously the best day of the whole entire year. You get to miss class, spend the afternoon with your friends and classmates, laugh at the ridiculous competitions, and show School Spirit. It is an overall win, to say the least.
Most people love Spirit Day, but not just because you get to leave your afternoon classes. It is also a lot of fun to sit in the bleachers with your friends and classmates and cheer on your class. Our school has so much spirit, mostly for our sports teams, so that makes it even more fun.
