Spirit Week at Norwell High School

Author: Sadie Penney 

One of the best weeks at Norwell high school is the spirit week. It gives students the opportunity to express themselves while also showing off their school spirit. It is also one of the only weeks where you are allowed to wear super crazy outfits. The goal at the end of the week is to be the grade with the most points, and the more points you get, the more spirited your grade was. The week started off on the Friday before the long weekend which was color wars. Each grade had a different color that they were supposed to wear, and everyone definitely went all out for this day. The seniors created special shirts that everyone wore to celebrate their last year at the school. Then, the Tuesday after the long weekend, it was a red, white, and blue day. People showed off their patriotism for this day and there were a lot of American flags. If you are best spirited in your grade, you are able to get a prize such as a gift card. The next day, on Wednesday, it was Nantucket day. This was probably the funniest day as many people dressed up as guys who live in Nantucket and people were very dedicated. On Thursday, the theme was wall day so each of the grades dressed up as different salad dressings. For example, Juniors were Ranch so they dressed up as cowboys and other people who live on a ranch. Then, on the last day of spirit week it was the classic day, blue and gold day. These are Norwell's school colors so this day happens often. There was also a pep rally which had more opportunities to win points such as games and the posters people painted for the walls. In the end, the seniors won, making it another successful spirit week!
