spirit week

School pride stretch

Spirit week is a period, typically five days, when a school encourages students to show enthusiasm through themed dress-up days and activities.

Common themes include pajama day, decade day, or wearing school colors.

Spirit week usually culminates in a pep rally or major athletic event like homecoming: We're doing throwback Thursday for spirit week.
