Spirit Week September 28-October 2

BY KEYANA S.

This last week was Spirit Week at J. Frank Hillyard Middle School. The kids at J. Frank Hillyard had FUN--and I know that for sure.

Monday was the first day of Spirit Week. It was "Camo or Pajama Day," and students came out and wore their pajamas or camo or maybe even both. Abby J. (6) and Deanna C. (6) both did!

Tuesday was "Dress Up Like Your Favorite Movie Character," so students participated and had fun with it. I know some eighth graders did!

Wednesday was "Hat Day." If you paid $1 you could wear a hat for a whole school day.

Thursday was "Sports Day/80's Day." Students wore their favorite team's colors, like the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Pittsburgh Steelers, or maybe even the Philadelphia Eagles. Or, if they wanted, students could dress up as an 80's character.

And of course Friday was everybody's favorite day: "Green and White Day." Students showed how much they like our school!

Also on Friday, for seventh and eight graders, is the first dance of the year. Come out and have some fun dancing and hanging out with your friends.
