  Spirit week is an important and fun experience for all of the Port Huron Northern students and staff.  The students and some of the more outgoing staff dress up in various outfits depending on the day, some will make you laugh and others will impress you by their school spirit.

   “My favorite day for spirit week this year was toga day, it was pretty chill. Knowing that I got compliments every six minutes, I say that toga day was a success and I hope we do it next year” said Garrett Lance(’16).  This spirit week and Port Huron Northern was a success and Lance had nothing to complain about when he said, “All of the days for spirit week were fun and I am fine with the days we did.”

   If you could add your own day, what would you make it? “We should have a day where everyone skips school, and it’s for obvious reasons” said Lance. 

   “I would like to have opposite gender day at school for spirit week because it makes everyone laugh and it’s a fun day where you actually want to go to school” said Sam Wagner (’14).

   Opinions will vary on which days people liked the best and the least, and for Wagner, “I liked tourist day a lot because I was able to wear my fresh Hawaiian shirt, and you can’t forget about those awesome fanny packs!”

   “All of the days for spirit week were fun, but my least favorite would have been toga day but only for the reason that I couldn’t make a toga” said Wagner.

   Spirit week has always been fun for every member of Northern staff, it does not matter if you are a freshman or a senior, or even a teacher; you will have a good week.  On Friday, towards the end of the day, all grades come together to go against each other in various games and activities. 

   There is a grape toss, tug-a-war, the obstacle course, and the always-fun-to-watch and probably the most entertaining for most, the dance competition.  All grades show their school spirit and cheer on their fellow classmates to see who the best is.
