With the main event of Homecoming, Brooklyn High School is continuing a tradition of spirit week, even if the only event this year is the crowning of the king and the queen. The events for spirit week were color wars on Monday, twin day on Tuesday, talent day on Thursday, and blue and gold day for Brooklyn pride on Friday. 

We asked Mrs. Bader, the head advisor for Student Council, some questions about the history of spirit week and her personal opinions about it.

Regarding the history of spirit week, “I believe it was happening prior to eighth grade being at the high school. I’ve been in charge of the Student Council for seven years and that’s been our tradition, but I’m pretty certain it was [here] for many years prior as well,” stated Bader.

She also added: “I love promoting school spirit and making Homecoming week big! I love seeing everyone participate and showing school unity.  It makes coming to school so much fun! The positivity I see in staff members and students during spirit week is contagious! I just love to see everyone in the school participating in something that emphasizes school spirit! It’s so fun to see all the creativity and involvement!”

Spirit week is a definite highlight of school for a lot of people who are still worried and stressed about the current situation and looking to have a bit of normalcy and fun in their school day. Throughout the week, so many students and staff have shown their spirit in plenty of fun ways through this event, and we are looking forward to more things like this in the future. 

BHS has plenty of school spirit and pride.  

Go Canes!
