Spirit Week planners prepare for fun

By Edith Cisneros & Jennifer Lopez

Ms. Swinnerton organizes Spirit Week each year, and we wanted to know what she has planned for next month. We asked her some questions to learn what you can expect in the near future.

Q: Why are you in charge of Spirit Week?
A: I am the leadership teacher and the activities director here at Waldo. Students in the Leadership class plan all the Spirit Week events.
Q: When is Spirit Week?
A: It will be during May 24-28.
Q: Why do we have Spirit Week?
A: It is a way to promote school spirit, and for fun :)
Q: How long has Waldo Middle School celebrated Spirit Week?
A: For as long as I have been here we have done Spirit Week.
Q: Do you like Spirit Week? Why?
A: I love it! I think it is fun to have students dressing up and I love to
wear my pajamas to school :)
Q: Are we going to have the same things as last year?
A: The leadership class hasn’t planned the dress up days yet, so I
don’t know.
Q: Which day was the most popular?
A: Lots of kids dress up everyday. Last year I think the "Spirit Day"
where each grade level had a color that people wore was the one that
most people dressed up for.
Q: Any more information on Spirit Week?
A: Leadership will begin planning for Spirit Week at the end of April or
the beginning of May. Any ideas for dress up days should go to a Waldo
or JGEMS leadership student.

We think that teachers should dress as students and then we can tell them they should be in dress code all day. That would be fun! Students should dress as teachers. Either that, or we should wear our favorite colors.
