Winter spirit week ushers in holiday spirit

Jake Colucci, Editor-In-Chief • December 12, 2023

Winter Spirit Week takes place during the last week of classes before the holiday break, Monday Dec. 18 – Thursday, December 21, which is a half-day that includes a pep rally for winter sport student-athletes.

SCA will once again sponsor the event, but this year, changed up some of the “dress up” days for students, faculty, and staff. Each themed day still allows everyone who wishes to participate a chance to showcase their holiday spirit and Falcon pride.

Monday (12/18) “T’was the Night Before Christmas” (pajamas)

Tuesday (12/19) “Ugly Sweater Day” (ugly holiday sweaters)

Wednesday (12/20) “Winter Wonderland Wednesday” (wear white)

Thursday (12/21) Melekalikimaka (Hawaiian Christmas)

Students will return to school on Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

Junior Journalism III student, Editor in Chief Being an editor for Falcon Press News is very important to me. Not only does it require me branch out of my comfort zone, but also learn about and meet new people. Many kids do not receive the recognition they deserve, and seeing the look on their face when I tell them I want to feature them is very rewarding.
