Join us for Spirit Week

There’s Joker, Pikachu, Domo, Hello kitty, Hippies and Witches around campus. Its not Halloween, its spirit week at Waianae high school. Throughout the week of October 23 through the 28th, students had a chance to show their school spirit by dressing up.

“The purpose of spirit week is to get the school involved in more activities and to make it fun for the school,” stated senior historian Carly Nitta.

Spirit week gives the students an opportunity to dress up in different themes or costumes and wear their school colors with pride.

Spirit week is usually the week of homecoming, but because homecoming week was during the last week of term one, no activities could be planned because of the final exams.

Student council staff decided to postpone the activities until the week of Halloween. Because Halloween is all about dressing up, Nitta decided to plan the week around costume themes.

“I decided to make spirit week the way it is because I wanted to match up the letters like m and m, so movie Monday. T and t, tasty Tuesday, and w and w Waianae Wednesday,” said Nitta.

Senior Gavin Domingo dressed up for the entire week.

“From Monday through Friday I was a character from grease, a musubi for Tuesday, Waianae for Wednesday, a tourist for Thursday and a Nazi zombie for Friday.”

Though some students at Waianae high school thought it was okay, Nitta thought

“Overall the spirit week and Halloween costume contest went well, we had a good amount of participants.”

Although spirit week was unusual and different from last year, dressing up into different things that normally some don’t do at school.

“I think spirit week was very well we did a lot of crazy things,” said Briahna Rivera.

Though spirit week happened at a different time of the year, it didn’t stop Waianae students from showing there spirit.
