![Palo Alto High School students flaunt unconventional items carrying their school supplies today during brunch across the Quad for “Anything but a Backpack” Day. The Spring Spirit Week theme left students with room for creativity as suitcases, grills and garbage cans covered the campus. Best-dressed participant and sophomore Briar Dorogusker, who brought a Santa Claus suit and sack, said she is excited to continue dressing up for the remainder of the week with her class. “I think that we [sophomores] have been doing a great job.” Dorogusker said. “During Fall Spirit Week I was so proud of [our class] and from what I've seen for the dress up days, we are having a great turn out. It seems like most sophomores have been doing something to reflect the theme.” (Photo: Celina Lee)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/DSC_0034-1-900x600.jpg)
![Junior Arial Hong collects candy from a teacher’s classroom during Palo Alto High School’s Trick-or-Treat activity during lunch on Friday to promote Halloween spirit as well as the Mental Health Matters program. Many underclassmen have yet to experience spirit on Paly campus, including Halloween festivities. Freshman Clara Thestlemire said she appreciated the handout of stickers from the Wellness Center as well as being able to collect candy as an early Halloween treat. “It's been fun,” Thestelmire said. “The classes had a lot of candy, and we also just got [mental health] stickers and quotes, it's really good to have these things happening on campus.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/DSC_4289-900x600.jpg)
