Spirit Week at Jonathan Law was not an average week this year – considering it consisted of 10 days of festivities.

Spirit Week took place from November 13-17, November 20-22, and November 27-28. Some of the themes were Pajama Day, Tacky Tourist Day, All-American Day, Twin Day, Color Wars, and Black and Gold Day.

“The level of participation from all four grades and staff was the best we have ever had which made spirit week even more special,” Athletic Director Mr. Sarullo said.

The goal of Spirit Week is to bring the school together and increase the pride, energy, and school spirit through fun activities.

“I thought that Spirit Week was very eventful and it was a fun way to compete against the other grades,” freshman Jordyn Konlian said.

This year’s Spirit Week continued on after the Powderpuff team and football team won against Foran in their annual games. The football team continued on to the playoffs and spirit days were used to help them get excited for the game.

“This Spirit Week was better than previous ones because there was more school spirit everywhere and there was more competition and participation in general,” senior Molly Mercaldo said.

Spirit Week is usually used to help teams get excited for their upcoming games and give them motivation to go out on the field and win.

“My favorite part of spirit week is to see how much fun everyone has with their outfits for the themed days,” Sarullo said.

Through the use of spirit points, the week becomes a competition throughout the grades to see who has the most school spirit and who can win at the end of the week.

“My favorite thing about spirit week is being able to dress up to show my school spirit and competing against other grades for points,” junior Samantha Franzman said.

The themes of the days were picked by a committee of students and staff and the points were awarded by a secret committee that got together each day and determined points.
