  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. 

Even High Schoolers Still Love Halloween

Opinion

   Halloween is a holiday that almost every kid loves. They love it for all sorts of reasons.

   They love it for the candy, costumes, decorations, haunted houses, caramel apples, pumpkin carvings, etc. It is a really good day for everyone.

   There is nothing better than getting a good scare for one day. Everyone loves to be scared!

   People go all over the place just to get free candy; there is nothing better than something for free! They also walk so much for all of this candy.

   “I love Halloween for the decorations and haunted houses,” said Hannah Woodruff (’15). She loves getting a good scare and seeing all of the houses decorated for the holiday.

   Woodruff goes trick-or-treating in all of the subdivisions. “It is fun and it’s the time of the month that you get to mess around and scare people,” said Woodruff.

   The best part would be seeing all of the costumes everyone dresses up in. Woodruff’s costume is different every year because she likes variety.

“I love Halloween because of the free candy,” said Kasey Nuss (’15). There is nothing better than all of the free candy that you get.

   She likes to stay home instead of going out trick-or-treating. She can still get free candy from all of her friends that go out.

   For Halloween, Nuss likes dressing up and getting scared. She also loves to decorate for the holiday.

   It seems to be that everyone’s favorite part of Halloween is getting scared and all of the candy they get. That is one of the best parts about Halloween.

  Halloween is a chance for all of the kids to get super happy when you hand them candy. For them, it is probably the most candy they will have that year.

   It is really fun to scare someone and to be scared. “I hate haunted houses with a passion,” said Riley Snowden (’15).

   Snowden hates to be scared and will not go to a haunted house by herself. She does not like the feeling of someone else scaring her. “I absolutely love the candy and I could eat it all day!” said Snowden.
