High School Spirit Analysis

Spirit Week has a wide variety of fun school activities or events that students can participate in, because of these activities it gives students a sense of freedom from everyday school. Dressing up or playing a fun game also shows who the person really is. Like their style of clothes or how hard they play. These events make kids at any school glad to be at their school. In the long run Spirit Weeks keeps kids entertained, open, and happy to having been at the school.

Despite the challenges of constructing the floats and collaborating with other groups, I believe pomping, and homecoming as a whole, is an important part of both Greek life and student life at Florida State University. Along with working hard it also brings great bonding time and friendships that will last a life

This experience truly defined who I became and who I am now as a leader. I

Volleyball season had started, and that means six o’clock practices bright and early. Practice was two hours long before school. I could feel the anxiety in the gym that day; everyone was nervous, thinking about what was to come. We did not play the best that day, to say the least. We kept seeing people walking past the gym, wishing they were anywhere else. The whole team was waiting for the clock to read eight so we could rush upstairs to change. At last, Coach let us take down the nets and go get ready. Our excitement led us to break record time taking down the nets.

Volleybrawl, a competitive Student Council fundraising event, is a popular competition where co-ed teams from the boys football and the girls volleyball face off in a friendly showdown. Four teams are formed from the 7th and 8th grades.These co-ed teams then play matches against each other in the popular sport of volleyball. Students enjoy watching and participating in this event, while at the same time raising money for future events and Student Council trips. This competition was held on December 2, 2016 Traditionally, we had the boys compete against the girls, however, every year the girls dominated. So, this year, to mix it up, we decided on co-ed teams consisting of both volleyball and football players on both sides. Students suggested

Panther Pride! My hometown, Quakertown, never has a shortage of Panther Pride. It’s never hard to find someone wearing royal blue or a sports jersey. Personally, I take the colors and uniform I wear very seriously. As a cheerleader, my responsibility is to increase the school spirit, not just at games, but in the building as well. We paint signs, perform at pep rallies, sell T shirts, and support our teams as well as preparing for our own competitions. I love being a part of my school spirit all year long, but my favorite tradition happens the night before Thanksgiving. My school has an annual game on Thanksgiving morning against our biggest rivals in football. The night before the game the cheer squad drives around town, while our football

The theme of the game was USA in honor of the people who have served for our country. All the girls sent pictures of a unique variety of options for what to wear to the game. Each one waited for her friends to respond so they could leave for the game. As people left for the game, they checked their outfit one more time in the mirror and got in their cars. The biggest football enthusiasts went to the grocery store before the game to get supplies. While they were at the grocery store, they bought baby powder, glitter and

Beginning on Tuesday, the spirit day will be camo/country, Wednesday’s will be punk vs. preppy, and on Thursday it’ll be celebrity dress up day. Lastly, Friday’s spirit day will be salad dressing day, where each grade level is assigned a certain “salad dressing” theme to dress up as. Seniors are 1,000 island, so they’ll dress in Hawaiian clothes, Juniors are French, Sophomores are ranch, wearing Western style

Although they don’t have their own sports teams at the school, they can often be found playing soccer or football outside. However, volleyball is most command and is played inside the AC. Since school doesn’t start till 9 am at UCAS and all the students are coming from different places it's normal for the students to be an hour or two early to school. During this time most students do homework at the lunch tables in the AC but, there always seems to be a few people playing volleyball. Although at lunchtime that number is much higher, with more than six people on each side of the net. It looked like a group of peopling moshing at a highschool dance. Everyone is so crowded, but they hardly complain, they are all having so much fun playing volleyball together that they hardly notice. One of the greatest things about this unconventional school is that anyone from any social group could and would join in the game, not because they were good, but because they had fun playing.

Along with many kid's games and activities, those who attend will be able to swim and enjoy live music. A firework display will also be conducted as part of this celebration. It will take place at the Community

There a many examples of this in the movie. First of all Erin says a motivational speech of sorts when she believes she might be separated from her class “Don't use me as another excuse for why you can't make it.You made it to your junior year.Think about how you did that.Everyone in this room has a chance to graduate” . All the students kept showing up to her class, improved their grades and most importantly changed their attitude. The most important thing for changing your future is changing your attitude, after all how you can you succeed if you don’t think you can succeed? Something that was very subtle that I noticed was the costume of the students changing, they began to look like students not like ‘gang members’ . When Miep Gies travelled to the class she said a small motivational speech of sorts to the students ; (everyone) “Can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light. In a dark room.” I feel that this gives the students motivation to do good in the world and change their future. One student example of a dramatic change is Marcus. He starts off dismissive and part of the gang life. We see him throw away his gun in a montage of sorts with non diegetic music and lots of travelling shots. He also moved back with his mother telling her ; “I want to change. I can't do it

On a regular Friday evening, I was able to attend one of my student’s football games. I had two students in attendance one female and one male. The female was on the cheerleading team supporting the team that the male was playing for. The team I was having to root for was recognized as the “Ravens”, composed of quite a few third graders and up. In their gear, as in they were professionals you could tell the excitement from the players as the cheerleaders began jumping and cheering as they approached.

Throughout my middle school and high school days I had the honor of being a part of my schools sideline and competitive cheerleading team. During the five years on my high school competitive cheerleading team the team’s structure varied in size anywhere from 24 people to 8 people, but the member status was always the same. The seniors on the team were the captains that ran the team under our two head coaches. Each member had a role and a purpose on the team that all relied on interdependence between members. For some members of the group, cheerleading was simply a hobby to get involved in the school. For others, our team served as a gateway to college and other enormous opportunities. The constant demand for perfection allowed girls, including myself, to receive scholarships to attend colleges around the United States, satisfying a need for education and the love for a competitive sport/lifestyle. This passion for cheerleading and being apart of something bigger than ourselves became a part of all of our personal identities. More simply, inside the walls of the high school the team satisfied the need for school spirit, getting people excited and willing to come to school events, which in return increased revenue for the school.

The most surprising experience was that all people we interviewed were very corporative. They not only shared their opinions freely but also their personal stories and feelings about the interviewed topic.

It was bitter cold and snowing that February morning as the team boarded the bus. After loading up the costume bags and luggage, the girls climbed into their seats wrapped in blankets holding hotel cups of hot chocolate. Everyone’s mood was the same mixture of excitement and terrifying fear. The day they had spent almost ten months preparing for had finally arrived. It was state drill.
