Spirit Week Blog

Spirit week was great. We had no major problems. Monday was sports day. I wore my bombers uniform. 7-3 had 32 dress outs. Tuesday was inside out. I turned my jacket, socks, shirt, and pants inside out. On Wednesday, it was aloha day. I wore an aloha print shirt, two leis, a fake camera, and Scott's. It was really cold, my toes were freezing!. On Thursday, it was military day. I wore a camo jacket, combat boots, and I had a us flag on my lanyard. Penny wars was really intense that day. People were bombing each other's jars with cash and silver coins. People brought in a lot a canned goods that hat to be stacked afterwards. But it was all going to a good cause. On Friday, it was team color. I wore a teal shirt. Team relay race was fun to watch. 

The highlight of spirit week was working penny wars and chain links. It was the highlight because i never did anything like that before. I also liked watching people compete on who's team would get the most pennies, making the chain links for the teams. The lowlight of spirit week was when I came to school late on Friday. It is the lowlight of the week because I missed a lot. I missed working in the morning, I missed team cheer off, and when I came to school, I didn't know what was going on. So that set me back a lot. 

A new activity we should have is a contest for each day of spirit week. Like a contest to see which person from which team would be dressed out the most. The prize should be extra points if they win. Each day, the contest will be for people that have dressed all out. It would make spirit week more intense and competitive. So people would want to dress out to win. 

A new dress out day should have been superhero day. It would make people want to dress out for that day. It should've been superhero day instead of inside out. Because inside out was too easy. Some people were told by their teachers to just go to the bathroom and turn their clothes inside out. Superhero day, they wouldn't be able to go to the bathroom and change into super hero clothes unless they had it in their bags.

My overall experience was great!. I enjoyed my first spirit week at Ilima. I honestly would say this spirit week was better than the ones we had in elementary, and it was way different. What should've been done differently was the way that we placed the signs to indicate what team we were taking tallies for. We should have the sign on the table so they could see, because sometimes the chains would block the sign. And people came to our table but they were a different team. They didn't see the sign.
