Jonathan Law students showed just how much spirit they have by engaging in this year’s Spirit Week.

Spirit Week is a continuation of the year-long class vs. class competition to see which grade has the most school spirit.

Leading up to the Powderpuff/Thanksgiving pep rally, activities ran from Monday, November 14, to Wednesday, November 23, with Jersey Day, Tacky Tourist Day, ’90s Day, Red, White and Blue Day, Country/Flannel day, Color Wars Day, Blackout Day, and Black and Gold Day respectively.

“All of the credit goes to the students,” athletic director Mr. Sarullo said. “There is an unbelievable amount of spirit and positive energy this year, which is needed for a school to have a successful spirit week.”

The activities were created by Sarullo and a group of students from various grades. The aim was to promote school spirit, getting involved with the school, and a bit of friendly competition.

“The point of Spirit Week is to get everyone excited and have school spirit,” senior Keala Hoff said.

The committee also brainstormed ideas for the upcoming pep rally to hype students up for the annual Law vs. Foran Powderpuff and Thanksgiving football games.

“I hope the students get excited for the Powderpuff game as well as the Thanksgiving game,” said Hoff, who also acts as an emcee for the pep rallies.

Students were encouraged to tweet pictures of them partaking in the festivities to The Advocate Twitter in order to get points for their class. Twitter was inundated with selfies, group photos, and mannequin challenges in an attempt to take the lead.

“The response was incredible,” journalism teacher Mr. Kulenych said. “I think it’s been an awesome showing by all the classes. You can feel the spirit from all the classes.”

The juniors started the week with a lead, but the senior and sophomore classes have been right behind them. The friendly competition could be seen throughout the halls.

“I love Spirit Week because I love to see how my grade can work together to get this win,” junior Christina Mohammed said.

The variety of days to participate in gave every student the chance to show off their school spirit and earn points. The hosts of Eagle Eye News got in on the fun by using ’90s slang on ’90s Day and Southern accents on Flannel/Country Day.

“My favorite day was All-American Day because absolutely everyone went all out painting their faces and flying flags,” senior Marissa Pollack said. “It was so fun especially because my friends and I walked in the halls chanting and sang in front of the whole cafeteria.”

The last three days include a Color War, Blackout Day, and Black and Gold Day. The school held its Powderpuff/Thanksgiving pep rally on Tuesday.

“My biggest wish, which I think has already been realized, is that the school comes together to support each other’s teams, clubs, competitions, etc,” Sarullo said.

The positivity of Spirit Week can be seen throughout the school. Jonathan Law students have shown their enthusiasm and energy to create a memorable week and a half of activities.

“I love that Spirit Week reminds everyone how much we love Law,” Pollack said. “As a senior it shows me what I’m going to miss next year and how much fun I had with all my friends.”

The Jonathan Law students will carry their energy from Spirit Week to the pep rally, and the Powderpuff and Thanksgiving football games against cross-town rival Foran High School.

No matter the results, Law students can look back and smile at the smiles formed during Spirit Week.
