Spirit Week











Spirit Week is a ridiculously fun time for students to have a little fun at school. We started the week with a Team Color day. Then we had Crazy Hair day, Twin day, International day, and finally Sports Day.
It's always fun to dress up and act like a kid again. This year I had my face painted almost every single day. Rachel, our make-up artist, loves face painting. So we had a good time with it.
We played games every morning with our teams. My team, the green team, got 3rd place. Not so great when there are 3 times! lol. Oh well. We tried!
Sports day was killer, with 90+ degree weather on January 28th. I was so dehydrated by the end of the day. AH. hot hot hot.
