Spirit weeks or just another dull week?

Spirit weeks are a fun way to interact with other students in our palmer community and it is definitely important to our Palmer community. In Palmer, spirit weeks allow students to feel like a part of the Palmer community and it also gets students excited about going to school the next day. Feeling like a part of the Palmer community is a big achievement to students especially for grade eights who are new to the school environment. Also students spend most of their time in school learning, so why not make it fun? In our small palmer community student council try their best to encourage other people to participate in these events because it shapes one’s view on high school. For example, many graduates will probably not remember what they did in their period 2- 4 class instead they will remember their club activities and their participation on spirit weeks. Personally if I ever looked back in my high school memories I would not want them to be regrets of what opportunities I missed and the fun that I would have got from it. Overall, spirit weeks motivates students to come to school in a positive way, make them feel like a palmer student, widen their social circle and gives happy memories about their high school live. So here is the real question: Would you rather participate at a spirit week and experience the ride or look back to high school and question yourself “what would have happened if I tried participating at one spirit week, would my whole high school life be changed?”

  1. I agree that spirit week can help to motivate students and bring memories to students ... but I think your last line about your whole high school life changing is a bit of an overstatement. Though spirit weeks are fun, I don't think they will significantly change one's high school life. However, that's not a reason not to participate!

  2. Actually, Amy is right, it's the little things that build up your life, not the big things. Personally, I don't think I'll remember a lot from high school anyway. I don't remember a lot of things from my past cause my memory sucks. Though my muscle memory is quite good. However I don't have anything to base that off of so it might be inaccurate.

  4. Nice random comments Gordy. I'm trying to accomplish two things by comment on every post.
    1. Get people involved. Do something fools.
    2. Piss people off. So they can do something. Do something fools.
    2x. Recruiting people to play Melty Blood and Blazblue with me.

  5. nice comment, this will become the official place to discuss non-related things. Play blazblue? you need someone who has a ps3 first. Also, sadly, we are too lazy to discuss assigned topics.
