SPIRIT WEEK

2015JANUARY 26-30

THE WONDERFULWORLD OF DISNEY

SPIRIT WEEK 2015 January 26 – January 30, 2015

Events: Dress-up contests daily Games and contests daily in the Arena Art Board and Film Project competitions Blue Man Stomp, Boys Poms, and Lip Sync competitions Purpose: The purpose of Spirit Week is for class members to work together to build class

pride through vigorous but friendly competition against other classes. Each day’s activities should increase class pride, involvement, and enthusiasm. All activities should fit with the mission of Westminster, which is to honor Jesus Christ.

Information: Spirit Book, emails, website Changes: Major and minor changes are made from year to year as the result of many

suggestions from previous participants and faculty sponsors. The Spirit Club introduces these changes to best serve the stated purpose of Spirit Week.

As the week progresses, the Spirit Club reserves the right to make certain changes in the guidelines for any activity if there is reason to believe that these changes will better serve the purpose of Spirit Week. Proper and timely communication of the changes will be made to the classes and sponsors.

New for 2015: The Art Board installation must be finished by January 28 at 6 p.m. All performers of a Blue Man Stomp routine should contribute to its musicality.

The Film Project will have a new content requirement this year that will be announced on January 14.

Questions, Any individual with a question, concern, or complaint must first approach a Concerns, & Class Officer and/or Class Sponsor (who will probably know the answer). Complaints: If the matter needs a clarification or ruling beyond his/her own scope, he/she will

take the matter to the Spirit Club Sponsor and/or Spirit Club President. Spirit Club Sponsor: Sara LaBarre Spirit Club President: Mary Kathryn Hancock Manager of the Practice Schedule: Susie Brown Parent Volunteer Liaison: Lisa Rupprecht

From the Extracurricular Music Guide: Teachers, advisors, coaches, and student leaders planning to use music in any function outside the classroom should follow these general guidelines:

1. Generally speaking, any music by Christian bands – those bands promoted as “Christian” – may be played, unless specific portions of the song would not meet the other criteria outlined within these guidelines.

2. Music by bands not professing to be Christian may be played but must be reviewed carefully. References (implicit or explicit) to violence, drugs, or sex will disqualify a song. Songs with multiple versions, one of which is explicit, will be disqualified.

3. Any profanity will disqualify a song. 4. A song that repeatedly or prominently uses questionable language or words with a great

deal of “shock value” for some younger audiences should also be avoided. 5. Bands with a general reputation for music about violence, drugs, or sex should not be

approved. Thursday Night Performance: No single activity brings the entire Westminster community together more than our annual Spirit Week. This tradition has become known beyond our immediate community and draws many spectators from the outside, especially to the final competitions near the end of the week. Student participants in the Film Project, Blue Man Stomp, Boys Poms, and Lip Sync will each receive two tickets for guests to attend their group’s afternoon performance. There will be no other admittance during the school day other than for Westminster students, faculty/staff, and/or ticket holders. A special performance of each of these events will be held for all parents, guests, and members of the greater Westminster community on Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. in the Westminster Arena. No scores will be announced prior to the last pep rally on Friday. The top two winners in each of these events will perform after the Friday night basketball game. In addition, performances will be broadcast via the Internet after afternoon pep rallies on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Note: Students must submit a final roster for each event to Mrs. Rupprecht by January 23 in order to receive tickets for the afternoon performances.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SPIRIT WEEK WINNER

DRESS-UP GUIDELINES 2015

Dress-ups will be counted during a random class period each day. The students WILL NOT be told when this is happening or if it has already happened that day. If the student’s dress-up is not obvious, there is a good chance it will not be counted. A counting sheet will be emailed to the teachers each morning designating WHEN (which period) to count. The teacher will decide at what time during the period to count, as long as the count is sent by end of period. The teacher simply marks 1) the number of dressed students per grade and 2) the total number of students in that grade sitting in the class that period. For absentee counting: If juniors want to be counted during their Junior Privilege, they must check in at the beginning of the period. If that happens to be the period that is counted, the juniors will be included in the totals. If they do not check in, no one will count them. If a senior wants to be counted during Senior Privilege, he or she must check in before signing out. If that happens to be the period that is counted, that senior will be included in the totals. Dress-up Guidelines:

1. No cross-dressing. 2. No negative costumes, including devils or occult characters. 3. No weapons – not even fake ones! 4. Modesty guidelines still apply during Spirit Week. 5. No roller skates or roller blades. 6. No masks. 7. No pajamas.

MONDAY – OCCUPATION DAY

Want to be an astronaut, balloon artist, or candy cane maker? Pick an interesting career and dress the part on Monday.

TUESDAY – AMERICA DAY

Students should dress up representing America. Examples could include outfits specific to a state or region, historic or patriotic attire, or armed services uniforms.

WEDNESDAY – CLASS COLOR DAY Each student must wear something with the designated class color. Face painting alone does not count. Take time to be creative!

THURSDAY – DISNEY DAY Don’t limit your ideas to only animation! Explore classic and new Disney characters from Pixar, the Disney Channel, and more.

FRIDAY – BLUE & WHITE DAY Each student should have both blue and white in an obvious way on his or her clothing to be counted. Only spirit shirts that are blue and white will be counted. Face painting alone does not count.

SCORING

DRESS-UPS AND GAMES

Dress-ups and games will be scored daily with 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 being the points for the respective places. In case of a tie, the points earned for the places will be added together, divided, and awarded.

Example: 1st place = 60 points Tie for 2nd, so 50 (2nd place) and 40 (3rd place) points are added to equal 90 divided by 2 = 45 each 4th = 30 5th = 20 6th = 10 ART BOARD, FILM PROJECT, BLUE MAN STOMP, BOYS POMS, AND LIP SYNC See following pages.

Once the balloon is popped, the player must leave the ring and sit with his class away from the ring.

Rules: No hands. No roughness. Players must wear socks and tennis shoes (no sandals, clogs, or hard soles). You are out if you go out of the boundaries.

Scoring: The game will stop when only 10 players remain in the ring. Scoring results (60, 50, 40, etc.) are based on how many of each grade level remain. The game resumes until only 3 contestants are left and each earns 10 bonus points for their class.

2) SUMO WRESTLING You will need: 1 student

1 exercise ball How to play:

The student will be given an exercise ball that will be wrapped to his/her stomach. Students will need to hold the ball from the bottom to keep it up.

3) HUMAN BOWLING You will need: 2 students 1 scooter (provided by the Spirit Club) How to play:

There will be 10 “pins” set up like they would be in a bowling alley. One student will sit on a 4-wheeled scooter while the other student pushes the first student into the “pins”, trying to knock down as many as possible. Each grade will get two tries. If the grade knocks down all “pins” on the first try, the “pins” will be reset for the second pass. Otherwise, the student on the scooter will try to knock down the remaining pins.

2) HUMAN SPELLING RACE

You will need: 8 students

How to play: Each team will gather in an area of the gym floor. All teams will receive the same word to spell out on the floor by lying down and shaping the letters with their bodies.

First class with the entire word spelled wins.

3) HULA HOOP LINE You will need: 25 students 1 hula hoop (provided by the Spirit Club)

How to play: 25 students join hands in a row. At the whistle, the hoop is put on the shoulder of the first player.
