Spirit Week

Every time Spirit Week announcements are made, it seems that barely anybody listens and take notice of the themes that are coming-soon. This seems to happen in most of my classes, but I am not sure about the other classes. Anyways, I am not a participant of the Spirit Weeks at Palmer. Yes, participating in these school events demonstrates that one does have school spirit and pride, but some of the ideas/themes are just "no-comment." I temporarily can't find the word I'm looking for, but picture-wise, it would look something like this: o_o" . An example of a Spirit Day that is "o_o" is BYOB (bring your own banana) day. Even though fruits are healthy and we should be bring and eating them daily, it doesn't quite fit into the lifestyle of a student. What I mean by that is directed to students that enjoy Spirit Week, but doesn't bring fruits to school, compared to ones that do bring fruits daily. For example, student Z hates fruits, but once BYOB was announced, student Z immediately brought one the day of the actual event. It does not fit to Z's regular lifestyle. Well, back to reality. As I have said before, I do not participate in Spirit Week activities and themes, but with one exception. I have participated in one Spirit Day over the lapse of x number of Spirit Weeks several times in the past. That Spirit Day is Blue and White Day. That is the only Spirit Day I am willing to take part in. Although I am not the type of student to take part in these school events, I do show my Palmer pride by wearing blue and white on the day of the actual blue and white day. I am not completely "unenthused," for I do participate in 20% of the Spirit Week days. (5 days in a week; 5 themes in a spirit week; blue and white day being one out of five spirit days;1/5=20%)
