Winter homecoming has its fair share of lovers and haters. Homecoming came on the heels of the two and a half day final’s week. Due to lack of advertisements, many said there was also a lack of school spirit.
“I think they should’ve talked about the days more on the announcements because they made people not want to participate,” said sophomore Melinda Sanders.
Lack of advertisements is not the only reason why students did not participate in spirit week. Some students said they felt the themes of spirit week this year were uninteresting.
“I’m not participating because the themes are really lame,” said senior Brandon Fredbloom.
This year’s themes were: Senior citizens, Hollywood, “I can’t believe I found this in my closet”, revenge of the nerds, and the traditional class colors day. No matter the themes of the week, some students just refuse to participate in spirit week.
“I was glad we had new themes this year, but I [still] didn’t feel the need to participate.” said junior Ashon Mask. “The spirit just wasn’t there.”
The lack in school spirit may not have only been due to the spirit week themes. The recent lack of successful teams can contribute, as well.
“Unfortunately school spirit is higher when sports teams do better,” said English teacher Jon Wakeman. “It would be nice if school spirit was constant.
Despite the lack of spirit throughout homecoming week, students showed their school pride during the winter homecoming pep rally. Each class was proud to chant their class year and compete against one other.
“I liked([this pep rally) more than most,” said senior Michael Smith.
With performances from Dance Company, Urban Arts, Sisterhood, Envy and an Everett version of American Idol, students agreed that Winter Homecoming pep rally was a better hit than Fall Homecoming pep rally.
For some, an assembly is a good time no matter what.
“I like homecoming, because we skip sixth hour,” said junior Dalila Omerovic.
Overall a majority of students agreed that the pep rally of 2010 was one to remember.
“We are still a strong school and very cheerful,” said freshman Kaiyla Foltz.
