"Spirit Week"-Sienna Bernier


During the week of October 2nd, Wallkill Senior High School SGA (Student Government Association) hosted this year’s Spirit Week and Homecoming. At their meeting before Spirit Week, they decided to have each class come up with the theme for one day of that week. For Monday, the Freshman class decided it would be Pajama Day. Quite a few people dressed down for this occasion, breaking out their best onesie, their favorite pair of sweatpants, or even just a simple pair of cozy slippers. A count of each class's participation was recorded, and at the end of the week the winning class would be declared. By the end of Monday, the Freshman class was in the lead and the Sophomore class was trailing by one. On Tuesday, it was Neon Day, and this was the idea of the Senior class. Neon Day was the most participated in day of the week. From glow sticks, to bright clothes, and even some crazy socks, a lot of the students went all out to show their spirit. By the
end of Tuesday, the sophomores took the lead in the polls with the freshmen not far behind. Wednesday was Character Day. The idea was to come to school dressed as your favorite celebrity or TV show/movie character. On Thursday, it was your chance for you and a friend to twin. Students twinned with one another as well as teachers and even some students twinned with their teachers. Overall, Twin Day was a success thanks so the help of our Sophomore class who were still in the lead. Friday was the most important day for spirit week-it was Spirit Day and also the day
everyone had been waiting for, the big game. The Freshman and Sophomore classes were to wear Blue and the Juniors and Seniors wore black. After 9th period ended, we were called down to the Gymnasium and separated by class. The cheering was exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. The Wallkill JV and Varsity Cheerleaders put on an amazing show for everyone, performing multiple cheers and dance routines. Once the crowd was pumped up, each class had four representatives compete in a relay competition. The end result was that the sophomore class won the relay competitions and ended up winning Spirit Week. Spirit Week ended up being nothing but a success!
