In the week and a half leading up to Thanksgiving, Jonathan Law High School students participated in a spirit week to get hyped up for Powderpuff and football games, along with a pep rally. 

To promote students to participate in the Jonathan Law tradition, points are awarded daily to each class with the most spirit. The themes for the spirit week were: Mismatched, Country vs. Country Club, All-American, Favorite Team Jersey, Character, VSCO Girl vs. E-Girl, Color Wars, and Decades. 

“At the end of each day a group of staff members get together and go through the tweets on Twitter and count up how many pictures were tweeted from different accounts,” said Athletic Director Mr. Sarullo. “The class with the most pictures gets the most points starting with 100.”

This year, at the Thanksgiving pep rally, a new tradition was created: the golden football. The golden football is given to the class with the most spirit. The senior class claimed the golden football at this pep rally.

Jonathan Law High School also announced a new name for their student section, in coordination with their mascot, the Lawmen. The student section will now be called “The Jury,” with four senior students with the most spirit being called “The Judges.”

“VJ [Sarullo] has made the Lawmen the official mascot,” said senior Morgan Taylor. “We decided to make our student section the Jury in honor of the Lawmen.”

The four senior Judges are Morgan Taylor, Brooke Nabors, Eden vanWaveren, and Mike Loschiavo. They will hand down their title to members of the Class of 2021 at their discretion during the Spring pep rally, creating a tradition between students. 

“I feel very honored being a judge because I love going all out for spirit weeks and pep rallies,” said Senior Eden vanWaveren. “I love being a role model to underclassmen to be confident and to really show our school spirit.”

The pep rally was held on Tuesday, November 26, before the Powderpuff football game. Powderpuff is a girls football game for junior and senior girls, against Foran High School. 

“It’s pretty important to get students hyped for the game because it’s against our biggest rival,” said senior Mike Loschiavo.

The Jonathan Law community plans to continue their spirit week tradition in the future, along with bolstering support for the forthcoming Winter and Spring sports seasons. 

“It’s important for us to keep them going whether they are winning or not,” said senior Brooke Nabors. “It shows our Lawmazing spirit.”
