Pennsauken High School SPIRIT WEEK Theme: Modern-Day Fairytales

Transcription

1 Pennsauken High School SPIRIT WEEK 2016 Theme: Modern-Day Fairytales The following are the rules for Spirit Week There may need to be some changes as Spirit Week approaches and I think of the things I have forgotten. As we embark on some new changes, it is not possible to predict every situation, nor do we wish to create so many rules that we impede the spirit of the competition. For this reason, it is incumbent of all participants to encourage fair competition and, when in doubt, to seek guidance from an advisor before proceeding with potentially unfair behavior. The school will be closed during the weekends. No students will be permitted to be in the building to work on Spirit Week activities..

These tickets should be a different color than those for the dance. Class members are responsible for the sale of tickets during lunches and for the sale and collection of tickets on the night of the event.
