Spirit Week, as we all know, has been delayed due to a fund-raising inconvenience. This has given teachers time to look over their options for a dress-code Spirit Week. (Ugh... the words don't even go together!) Let's try to look at it from their point of view: Kids will be furious when they find out we can't dress up for Spirit Week, right? Petitions, anger, frustration... even more than there is now. What can we do? Aha! Let's try to make them happier by... giving them something else! Here's an idea... another DANCE! Okay, lets stop right here. Is it just me, or does this scream unfair to you? Hey, I'd love another dance! A whole closing, end-of-Spirit-Week thing... but it's original intentions make me mad. Why might we have it? The staff is trying to placate us, so we won't, like, attack the school or go on strike or something. (In the means of going on strike, I have some interesting ideas. Email me to find out more.) Why can't they just give us a dance to be nice or something? Another thing: this dance sounds really cool... grr. It'd be an evening dance and all, form, like, 7 to 9. It may be only 7th and 8th grade (I've even heard rumors that it might be only 8th!) and also might have the whole 'King and Queen' of Spirit Week thing as part of it. My response: WHAT!!?? King and Queen? We have enough Middle School drama as it is... My Solution: Wait until something is official. If they announce that Spirit Week still has full Dress Code standards, (get ready for it...) don't participate! Arrange within our own little groups for Spirit Week to be the NEXT week, or two from the original. See what the teachers say then, huh? Does this sound fair to you? Will you be placated with the promise of another dance?

this wasnt cuz of spirit week
Not directly, but that's probably why it's being considered. If we had just a normal year, with a noraml Spirit Week, and a normal dance, people wouldn't have considered this.
yea they wouldve; it wasnt cuz of spirit week in the first place, and doesnt really have anything to do with it
Um... no they wouldn't have. Kids jsut made a big deal of not being able to dress as they liked for both the dance and Spirit Week. Without the dress code, everyhting would be as normal...
But it was because of Mrs. Allman. She thought the eighth graders deserved a spring formal. That's why. The dance would've taken place anyways, but there wouldn't have been Spirit Week King and Queen.
They have to have a Spirit Week. Government says so.
i like the idea of another dance, no matter what the intentions.
But I think we hsould do our own spirit week the same as last years(ie hippie week, etc.)
so, were gonna have 2 dances?
last dance i chugged three cokes and a dr. pepper, had two brownies and moved around a lot. EXPLOSIVE COMBO. or i threw up in my car on the way home. oh yeah i had 2 cokes after the brownies. the more school dances, the more i will make my car reek. hahaha. but i didn't throw up at the spring dance :)
I love school dances *laughs* good times, GOOOOOD times.
we didnt have a spring dance
we had a service club only dance thing i think
o rite i 4got to go my b
i like chucky cheese
ok that wasn't me
there are gonna be three dances this year. one in december, one in february, and one some time in spring for spirit week. i think the one in february is only for service club but i'm not sure about that. there isn't going to be a king and queen, some parents decided on it. =^)
ok well i'm in service club so i can go to all three unless i boycott one of them because of no spirit week or something
