‘Let’s go wolves!’

Students participated in their first spirit week since returning to in-person learning leading up to the Homecoming football game Friday.

Spirit week commenced with pajama day on Monday with students wearing a variety of comfortable sleepwear. Seniors also participated in Senior Sunrise in the morning before school.

Friends rocked the same styles and colors for Twin Tuesday.

Students wore pink to celebrate the popular “Mean Girls” phrase “On Wednesdays, we wear pink” and to raise awareness for breast cancer.

On Thursday, students wore their favorite Hawaiian shirts and khaki shorts for Tourist Thursday.

To culminate spirit week, each graduating class competed in the Casino Wars: the theme of the homecoming dance that has now been postponed. Freshmen wore white, sophomores wore grey, juniors wore black and seniors wore red.
