Spirit Week Announcement
The Solitaire presents Spooky Spirit Week
“Halloween” by Open Grid Scheduler / Grid Engine is marked under CC0 1.0. To view the terms, visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/cc0/1.0/
The absence of homecoming has left students feeling unsettled and disappointed about this school year. This new way of life does not account for the events that bring us all together.
In light of the cancelation of Homecoming, the Fort Zumwalt West Solitaire will be holding a Halloween Spirit Week. During the week of the 26, students will be able to dress up to win $10 gift cards, and for the first time in Fort Zumwalt West history, be allowed to wear their costumes to school.
The Spirit Days
Monster Mash Monday
Television Tuesday
Wayback Wednesday
Devils vs Angels Thursday (Devils are upperclassmen, Angels are underclassmen)
Costume Friday
In order to win, post your outfit to your Instagram story or on twitter and tag us in the post. You must be following us on Instagram to win. Students will not be allowed to win a gift card on Thursday.
Teachers also will be able to participate in this spirit week in the Door Decking competition for a $10 Target gift card. There will be three categories: Best Overall, Spookiest, and Cutest. The Best Overall winner will receive the gift card.
We hope that Halloween will bring students together. Have fun, and good luck!
