Next week is Pack the Place, where everyone shows their school spirit and cheers on our Spartan basketball teams. There will be spirit days every day next week to build the anticipation for the games. On Wednesday the girls will be playing Burr Ride and on Thursday the boys will be playing Westview. To build motivation, if the either of the Spartan teams win, then students will be able to throw whipped cream pies at the teachers. If the girls win on Wednesday, then you could throw a pie at Mrs. Liles, Ms. Coppoletta, Mrs. Mixon, Ms. Enzbigilis, or Mr. Little. If the boys win on Thursday, then you could throw a pie at Mr. Windsor, Ms. Payne, Mr. Dodd, or me. So come on out and enjoy the festivities!
Spirit Days:
Monday- Hat Day
Tuesday- Twin Day (Dress just like your friends!)
Wednesday- Green Day
Thursday- Gold Day
