The Weekly WrapUp
And that's the way it was...
Happy Friday Bulldogs!
Congratulations to our ASB students and their sponsor, Mr. Whitman, for a successful kick off to the pageantry that makes Homecoming a memorable experience for all. We look forward to finding our school spirit, and the keeper of this spirit - Spike - in the upcoming week. For those of us who need the rundown - our spirit week themes are as follows
- Monday - Lazy Monday (Pajama Day)
- Tuesday - College Day (College Gear)
- Wednesday - Pink Day (Wear Your Pink Gear)
- Thursday - Denim on Denim (Blue Jeans with Denim Jackets, Shirts, etc)
- Friday - Bulldog Spirit (MVHS Gear)
It has been said that students and staff participating in the spirit days will be recognized with special opportunities and potential prizes - so be on the lookout for Spike and be sure to promote MVHS School Spirit all next week.
