The students at PLHS participated in spirit week for homecoming this last week October 2nd-5th. What does spirit week mean to our students here at PLHS? Sophia Bakke, on the student council, enjoys spirit week.
“Monday- Barbie for Breast Cancer Awareness, Tuesday- Surfer vs. Biker, Wednesday- Country, Thursday- Grade Colors,” freshman Sophia Bakke said.
For many students spirit week is a fun thing to participate in and just get to enjoy yourself and have fun while still being in school.
“There were more people that dressed up for spirit week than I thought were going to, especially on Monday and Tuesday. I have gotten only positive feedback from what was worn.” Bakke said.
Being a part of Student council is a fun thing and being able to decide the themes and seeing people dress for them is a very cool thing.
“We wanted to be able to spread school spirit and pride while also spreading awareness for things like breast cancer. Another thing we wanted was for students to enjoy themselves and have fun with the themes.” Bakke said.
The themes that were chosen for this year’s 2023 homecoming spirit week were all really good ideas. Monday’s Barbie for breast cancer was hopefully inspiring to people to wear pink knowing the meaning behind why the student council chose that theme in particular.
“I think it raises school spirit because it allows students to get closer and feel united as a school.” Bakke said.
It’s great that the students are thinking and considering the school as a whole during the thought of the making of the themes.
“It makes students more excited because it raises their morale and gets them to laugh at what they’re wearing and what others are wearing.” Bakke said.
The theme weeks are a cool thing to be able to bring the school together and see everyone dressed up in the theme.
“I voted ‘anything but a backpack’ as a theme. However, since it was a spirit week theme last year, it didn’t get as many votes as the four we went with.” Bakke said.
As there are more than four members of the student council, they did have to compromise and choose the best spirit week themes that were most voted for.
