Ideas for School Spirit Week: So Cool!

We think school spirit week is pretty cool, but you don’t just take our opinion! Check out some of these reasons for why showing school spirit benefits everyone.

• Super Social

School spirit week is a great time to be social with your classmates, especially if you and your best buds have ended up in different classes this semester. Besides hooking up with old pals, you’ll get to meet some new faces. Play your cards right, and you may end up with a whole new crop of friends.

• It’s Fun!

No seriously, when was the last time you saw your math teacher dress up like the school mascot? See? Plus, you get to experiment with your look. One day you and your best friend dress up like twins, and the next day you could be wearing an outfit made out of plastic garbage bags!

• Lots of picture taking.

Yearbook staff and photos will be on hand to capture all the festivities, so this is one of your best chances (if your not already in a club or similar group) to get into the yearbook. Creativity, a dash of flash, and a splash of drama are all the tools you’ll need to get your outfit into the yearbook. Get ready for your close-up!

The Ideas

Now that we see why demonstrating school spirit is a plus for everyone, let’s take a look at some fun ideas for school spirit week.

• Multiplicity Day

Multiplicity Day is quite similar to the more well-know Twin Day, the catch being however, that you get as many people as possible to dress alike. Five, six even seven people dressed completely alike is guaranteed to turn heads.

• Ugly Shirt and Tie Day

This is an oldie but a goody. Teacher’s especially seem to go for this look, and it’s always a cool day. Your mission? Find the ugliest shirt and wackiest tie you can possibly find and get ready for school.

• Superhero Day

How much fun is this? Imagine the day comes when you can actually dress like your favorite superhero, and you don’t have to be five, or have it be Halloween to pull it off. All Storms, Spidermen, and Catwomen, report for duty!

• Celebrity Day

There’s no doubt that celebrities permeate every facet of our culture and whether you find that fact exhilarating or nauseating, take part in this day.

For those of you who love all things celeb, play the costume up to the hilt. Let’s say your favorite celebrity is Lindsay Lohan. Consider the long hair (you can always purchase a wig if need be), the earrings, and don’t forget the sunglasses!

If, on the other hand, just the mere mention of the name Paris sends chills up your spine, consider taking a satirical, comedic twist on her persona. You could do this buy wearing a shirt that says “That’s Hot”, or by sporting an obviously fake tan.

And guys don’t think you can’t get in on a piece of this action. Take the Govenator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Consider buying fake abs, or perfect your Sylvester Stallone incoherent drawl. The possibilities are endless!
