Spirit Week

At the start of the year when i found out that i was student council president i instantly started thinking about activities we could organize that everyone in the school would enjoy. obviously i could not make these decisions by myself so i surveyed all of the students and to my surprise spirit week was one of the favorites. this took me by surprise because i had thought that spirit week had really lost it's lust but i suppose not. so as requested, i went ahead and organized it for this present week because it worked well, being the week of halloween. so far i think it has gone fairly well, the majority of people have been dressing up everyday and getting into the spirit of things. of course, there is always some people that are just "too cool" to dress up but then again that is their own personal choice. as well as this week has turned out i do think that spirit week has lost the momentum that it used to have, when my older brothers were in high school everyone dressed up and did the activities. it was rare to find a person who had too big of an ego to dress up, which i think would of been great to have so many people involved. Over all i do think that spirit week is a great idea, it adds some fun to the sometimes extremely boring high school week days and serves as an ice-breaker for new students. Also, on a more serious note it serves as a median for all students because just for one week it puts all students on the same level, whether they are less fortunate or better off, i wish this could happen more often.
