The Jonathan Law Senior Student Council organized this school year’s first Spirit Week the week of September 18.

The Spirit Week consisted of Pajama Day, Tropical Tuesday, Barbie & Ken Day, Student/Teacher Swap Day and Color Wars. 

Throughout the entire week students and staff dressed up according to the days and the week ended with a pep rally in the gym. 

“My favorite day was the Teacher-Students swap,” Law Principal Mr. Darcy said. “It was fun to see students and staff who dressed as each other, took photos, Tweets, etc. I even had a student dress up like me which was a surprise.” 

Senior Class President Ike Opayemi, Senior Class Advisors Ms. Russell and Mrs. Francisco, and other Student Council members planned the themes and pep rally.  

“We always wish for more and more participation, different spirit days, and other fun competitions at the pep rallies,” Francisco said. “We also want to see hallway decorations in the near future.”

There will be more spirit weeks going into the school year, one before thanksgiving, another in the winter and one or two more in the spring. 

“My favorite part of spirit week was getting to see all of my friends’ outfits they wore and getting to coordinate fun outfits with my classmates and teachers,” sophomore Kayla Markowitz said.

The goal of spirit week is to bring the school together and increase pride, energy, and school spirit. 

“My favorite day of spirit week would definitely be the Barbie/Ken theme,” Opayemi said. “Our school never had the opportunity to do a theme like that and I loved seeing everyone dressed up in their outfits.” 

The Barbie/Ken themed day emerged from the release of the “Barbie” movie which came out over the summer. 

“My favorite part of spirit week is seeing the amount of students and staff that participate on any given day,” Darcy said. “I’ve worked in other schools where participation is low. At Law, we always have a ton of support for our spirit days due to the positive school climate.”
