Sophomore Ethan Look is looking forward to this year’s Spirit Week.
“To me, Spirit Week is all about giving the students a chance to relax and have fun,” Look said. “School can become very overwhelming for students so a little healthy competition between the classes gives students a chance to relieve some stress.”
Rallies will be held each day at lunch and a free lunch will be offered Friday. There will be no swim rally this year, according to junior Quinn Rockwell, Associated Student Body social commissioner. On Friday, the Paly football team will play Mountain View High School for the homecoming title. ASB is planning to make the Saturday homecoming dance free to reward students for the high attendance at the first dance.
