SHS spirit week
Nimra Sheikh, '26
Spirit week, sponsored by the senior class, spanned from October 15th to October 18th; on Monday, the 14th, there was no school because of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The week included four themes: BBQ dad vs. soccer mom, dress as your type, teacher-student outfit swap, and 90’s/Y2K fashion day.
The purpose of spirit week is to showcase community spirit and create an active space for students to engage with each other and even their teachers. The week ended with homecoming, a dance all Somerville High students could attend. It was another way to build community and bring people together.
The least popular theme seemed to be teacher-student outfit swap. However, many students dressed up for 90’s/Y2K fashion day. There were a couple repeat themes from the previous two years, such as BBQ dad V.S. soccer mom and dress as your type. Regardless, some students participated.
Spirit week ties the students together in Highlander spirit, so thank you to the senior class for sponsoring it. There will certainly be more spirit weeks to look out for in the coming months. Students who did not participate or did not know about Homecoming Spirit Week will get plenty more opportunities to do so!
