Spirit Week This week
Spirit Week This week
Get ready for some fun and creativity, WMAES families! From October 15th to 18th, we're celebrating Homecoming Spirit Week. Please note Monday's spirit day will be rescheduled. Participation is entirely optional, but we encourage everyone to join in on the fun! Here's a peek at each day's theme:
Tuesday - Monochromatic Day: Pick a color and go all out – dress head to toe in your chosen color!
Wednesday - A Wrinkle in Time: Time travel for a day! Dress as an older or younger version of yourself.
Thursday - Rhyme Without Reason: Partner up for a twist on twin day! Instead of dressing alike, you and your partner dress as two unrelated things that rhyme (e.g., a dog and a frog ).
Friday - Eagle Pride: Show off your WMAES spirit with school gear and colors!
We can't wait to see all the creative outfits and school spirit!
