Thing 1 and thing 2

Spirit week is a fun week dedicated to students to dress up and show school spirit, but did you know that teachers have a secret spirit week all to themselves.

Teachers want to show school spirit as well, but no one knows about it because it is a secret. Their spirit week was a week after homecoming week. Many teachers participated in this event and lots of them went all out to show some lobo pride.

Teacher’s spirit week is a secret because no student really notices, I know I didn’t until the second day. I started to notice that all my teachers were dressing up and that is when I found out.

The first day of spirit week was on Monday October 5th, which were stripes. Many teachers showed school spirit and wore stripes. Teachers mainly wore stripes on sweaters or shirts, which makes sense because stripes are designed more on sweaters, shirts, and socks, but teachers were saving the socks for Tuesday.

Tuesday October 6th was all about being crazy. Tuesday was crazy socks and tie day. There were different crazy looking socks and ties that were worn.

The third day of spirit week was Wednesday October 7th, which was workout Wednesday. I know for sure many people came very comfortable that day because when people workout you obviously wear comfortable clothes that you are able to move in.

Thursday October 8th was twin day. There were many creative teachers who decided to dress up with a twin.

Friday October 9th was Lobo pride day. Our school colors were shown everywhere on campus by everyone. Friday’s are always the best day because those days are when school spirit is shown the most.
