From Monday, October 31st to Friday, November 4th, BSGE’s senior council organized its annual Spirit Week. Spirit Week, According to Jennifer Shin ’17 and Kyra Richardson ‘17, two members of the senior council, this was a chance “to get everyone of all grades to participate” in a school-wide event. The goal was to make each day easy to partake in, learned after the unfortunate “Fancy Friday” of last year, a day where very fewstudents participated. Flannel Friday took its place as “it was easy to participate in and everyone has a flannel; the whole point of the week is to get all grades to join,” Jennifer explained. With the event’s more simplistic nature, it gave more freedom to students so that everyone could join.
This year, the week consisted of:
Monster Monday
It’s Halloween! Come to school in your costume–dress up as a character from your favorite TV show or whatever else you want. Just don’t wear masks!
Seniors Elizabeth Levkovich, Maddalena Carusone, Emily Costa, and Eleni Zamagias dress up as characters from Scooby Doo.
