Last week, Spirit Week returned to HHS and students and staff were encouraged to dress along with the day’s theme and show their school spirit!

On the first day,  students were encouraged show their patriotism for our country on April 4th for Ameri-cam Monday! This was a day devoted to showing pride in our country by wearing our nation’s colors- red, white, and blue. Also included was  the opportunity to wear camouflage to honor our service men and women who have fought or are fighting for our freedom! ‘Murica! (Note: although this day was postponed due to weather, the following Monday, April 11 was a make-up day).

The second day, April 5th, was “Toon Tuesday.” The title is pretty self-explanatory; this was a day to show off your favorite cartoon by dressing like them! Students replicated their favorite character or even joined a group of friends to recreate their favorite cartoon buddies.

“Onesie Wednesday” was next on the agenda for April 6th. For years, “Pajama Day” was always a requested day for Spirit Week, and this year Student Government made it happen!  “Onesie Wednesday” offered students and faculty the chance to wear their pajamas to school!

April 7th, “Twin Thursday,” was the day to show up in matching outfits with one or several friends. Students were encouraged to get creative with themes and they didn’t disappoint!

The final day of Spirit Week certainly had promise to end the week with an exciting day. “Flashback Friday” was the theme for the school day, which required students to dig up some of their parents or even grandparents’s clothes out of the attic.

Following “Flashback Friday,” Holyoke High School’s Student Government decided to bring back a lost tradition, the MORP. . M-O-R-P spells P-R-O-M backwards, and that’s what it is, a backwards prom! Students keep on what they wore to school on  Flashback Friday because the MORP is an old fashioned dance.

It’s was a fun filled week at HHS – check out pictures taken of all the spirit week activities and the MORP below!
