NO! Oops, didn’t mean to scare you. It’s Red Ribbon Week! Say no to drugs! Right…? Anyway, time to dress up and support a no-drug zone week. I’ve seen so many people dressing up and it makes me so flippin’ happy. People go all out, too! Like, okay stylist. Now let’s talk about the dress up days. In this article, I will be talking about the dress up days and how people served that theme with style.
On Monday, the dress up theme was comfy vs. fancy. This was the perfect excuse to come to school in pajamas, quite literally. The amount of people I saw dressed comfy made me jealous, seriously. Now, fancy? Everyone went ALL OUT. I felt like I was at a business building and interrupting a meeting or something. I definitely saw more comfy than fancy, but hey! At least you’re contributing! Along with contributing, the winners of this dress up day were…the Freshman! Congratulations Freshmans for dressing out!
Time for Tuesday! Tuesday's dress up theme was Mathlete vs Athlete! I will say I LOVE everyone who did Mathlete, like so much. Lots of people went with the athlete aesthetic and nailed it! I was also one of those people, I know right? Quite literally got confused for an ACTUAL athlete, heh. Okay, I’m kidding. On a serious note, Mrs. Berccera definitely fit into mathlete with how she went full out! The winners for this theme were the Sophomores! Congratulations, Sophomores!
For Wednesday’s dress up day, the theme was Surfers vs Bikers! I was going to dress up, I swear! My leather jacket was SO bulky, I felt like the hulk. Lots of students aimed straight for bikers with the leather and boots. I swear I was about to pull up looking like the bikers group, ‘The Rodents’, from Teen Beach Movie or the ‘T-Birds’ from Grease. I’ll be feeling like Sandy Olsson when she COMPLETELY transformed. Even though I didn’t see any biker outfits based off of old aesthetics, everyone still rocked this day's spirit day! Now the surfers…how were you guys not cold?! If I dared to take off my sweater for one second, I would’ve become an icicle. But hey, A for effort.
Say YeeHaw to Thursday’s theme because this spirit day was based on Country vs Country Club! Get it? YeeHaw? Country? Anyway, I genuinely thought I was in a Country movie with how people were dressed. I was wondering where the horses were…okay, continuing. For the Country club theme, lots of people went ALL out! Like, where are the golf clubs and “rich laughs” at? I attempted, key word : attempted, to dress towards the country club theme…I’m guessing it didn’t work because I wasn’t recognizable. Darn. Congrats to the Seniors for winning Thursday’s spirit count!
Finally, Friday’s dress up day was to wear red. Along with this, we had our red ribbon rally! Lots of laughs were shared during the time of the rally. Thank you to all of you for dressing up, all students did amazing! See you next time, Pandas!
