The Class of 2024 held a Spirit Week during the week of May 16-20 to raise money for the sophomore class. 

The spirit week consisted of Pajama Day, Crazy Sock Day, Law Gear Day, Adam Sandler Day, and Color Ward.

Throughout the entire spirit week, sophomores had jars out during lunch waves to help raise money for their class. The jars were labeled with a different pair of teachers and whichever pair raised the most money would be pied in the face on Eagle Eye News.

The teachers that raised the most money were history teachers Mr. Lui and Mr. Zuraw.  They were pied on the June 1 episode of Eagle Eye News.

“Although I’m genuinely glad we were able to help raise money for the sophomore class, I wish it didn’t have to of happened in the middle of the day on a Wednesday when I still had to teach and for the remainder of the day because I smelled like spoiled milk,” Zuraw said. “The pie did taste great, but whipped cream isn’t that much fun to have up your nose, in your hair, and in your ears.”

In total, the sophomore class raised over $100. This money goes to future events such as dances, funding, etc.

Sophomore class President Hailey Russo orchestrated the spirit week along with help from sophomore Jessica Brocksom.

“We planned the Spirit Week by first coming up with an idea and then getting it approved by Mr. Darcy,” Brocksom said.  “Once that was done we just made some posts to spread awareness and we spread the word to our friends as well, and lastly, we asked some teachers if they would be willing to get involved.”

Once everything was approved and organized, the result was a fun week for all students and teachers.

“My favorite Spirit Day was Adam Sandler Day and Color Wars,” Russo said.  “Color Wars is a classic and Adam Sandler Day was funny to see people in oversized clothes and sunglasses.”

The sophomore class plans to have many more events in the future. 

“We have many ideas planned for this year and next year,” Russo said.  “We were going to have them all together but since we have limited time we decided to split it up into different ideas.”
