Gold/White Dominates the Week!

Gold/ White Week

What a week of spirit leading up to the celebration of Miss Jennie's birthday on January 30!  Do the girls in this school have fun or what?  I wasn't here for Disney Day, but Mrs. Seabolt took pictures and I heard all about it! (I had Jury Duty, and I actually served on a jury, so it was kind of a productive day.) Today was the Gold/ White competition, and it was spectacular.  The teams rocked the gym, and the girls looked resplendent in their gold sequins and white feather boas.

Since we have done so much celebrating this week, I had to find a way to weave history into Spirit Week, so Decades Day was the perfect vehicle.  Hello 60s! Did these girls ever get into it! They've  learned about the Viet Nam War and the civil rights movement, and how college students all over the country protested, so they staged their very own sit-in, and Dr. Kapetanis and Mrs. Friend went right along with it.  The "protestors" presented their list of demands...more cookies in the cafeteria, flag football at recess, more jeans days, compliment circles....all very interesting!
