The students' plans for School Spirit Week are coming together, and a long letter went home recently with all the details for you, plus a permission slip for Field Day (Friday, May 23). Something special is planned for each day and every child is able to participate in his/her own way. Please support your child in preparing for the week's activities - they care that you care!
The basic schedule is:
Monday, May 19
Students wear WJPS Spirit Week t-shirts ($10). This shirt becomes an official uniform t-shirt.
Sports Night Volley Ball game (tickets $5)
Tuesday, May 20
Clothing Clash Day - students wear mismatched, topsy-turvy outfits that incorporate the school uniform (wear a shirt inside-out or backward, non-matching socks/shoes, etc.)
Wednesday, May 21
Academic Day - Jeopardy style games in each classroom
Students wear clothing related to a profession of their choice (astronaut, brain surgeon, etc.) that include the school uniform
Thursday, May 22
Old School Day - students wear clothing of a decade of their choice (60's, 70's) that include the school uniform
Friday, May 23
Students wear their grade color - no uniform!
6th grade is white, 7th is blue, 8th is yellow, 9th is green and 10th is red.
