Middle School Spirit Week Brings Fun, Friendly Competition Home

This week, Middle School students participated in a variety of virtual Spirit Week activities. These events – spread across five days – encouraged friendly competition and provided an opportunity for students to connect from a distance. Each day also featured the option to dress in a fun and creative way.

The schedule for the week included the following:
