Spirit Week

This week was spirit week at school so we were able to take advantage of the dress code freedom that the week had to offer. On Multiplicity Monday we wore matching outfits with a bunch of other teachers. The white shirt and black pants/skirt combo resulted in us looking like Jehovah’s Witnesses riding our bikes to school. Or, participants in an Amway convention, as our Director pointed out.



Our Multiplicity Monday outfits.



For Toddler Tuesday we wore pajamas to school. I was so sleepy all day due to the extreme comfort. Eric commented that in reality, our pajamas would be considered normal attire to some Chinese people because they tend to wear odd clothes regularly. Wacky Wednesday was not too imaginative on our part. We wore mismatched clothes. Crazy, I know. Thursday was Time Travel Thursday- Eric wore a suit and either passed it off as classic 1950’s attire or future business meeting attire. I was a 1960’s French academic with a black beret and navy/white striped shirt. Today was Flying Tiger Friday (school mascot)/KIA Colors day.  The students loved spirit week. The atmosphere seemed a little more relaxed and they enjoyed seeing all of the teachers participate, even if some of our outfits were a little lame. Each day started off with a 1980’s rock song over the PA system and that seemed to make everything fun. There was no big event at the end of spirit week. No football game, no sporting event of any kind, just an awards ceremony out front for whoever showed the most school spirit. It was a good week.
