Last week, students enjoyed spirit week. We had P.J. day, Crazy hair/Mismatch day, Cowboy day, Career day, and Red and White day. The students enjoyed their spirit week very much, especially the sophomores who won the spirit stick. We also had a chili supper, red and white game, and bonfire Friday night.
Students, who look forward to having these activities every year, answered some questions for the newspaper staff.
