Student Council brought Spirit Week to Willow Canyon over the past week wtih the theme “Clash of the Wildcats”. Since August 2, Student Council put many hours into preparing this event to make it memorable for the entire campus.
“This year’s Spirit Week and Homecoming will be the best of them all!” said senior Student Council President Danica Mellinger. “Show your spirit and try not to care about what anyone thinks.”Spirit Week concludes today after a full week of school activities and participation.
Monday’s theme was hero vs. villain. During lunch, there was a football throwing contest. That evening, the junior and senior girls faced off in their annual powderpuff football game at 6:30. The seniors won 32-18.
On Tuesday, students dressed for either peace or war, and the lunch activity consisted of military physical activities such as a pull up contest and arm wrestling. After school, students were invited to the cafeteria to watch Remember the Titans.
On Wednesday, the theme was jock vs. nerd. The lunch activity that day featured a Jeopardy-style game with sports and academic questions. Wednesday night, the freshmen football team played against Sandra Day O’Connor.
Thursday was class vs. class. Each grade had its individual color to represent in order to boost class spirit. Freshmen wore yellow, sophomores wore red, juniors wore green and the seniors wore pink. During lunch, classes faced off against each other in class vs. class Tug-O-War competitions. Later on that evening, Willow Canyon hosted the Jam the Gym for the girls volleyball game against Boulder Creek which started at 7.
Friday is Wildcat Spirit Day where the entire school is encouraged to wear “blue and silver for all to see” according to the school’s fight song. At lunch there will be spirit items and light face painting for students.
An assembly will be held Friday afternoon during seventh period to conclude the week’s festivities and to pump up the entire campus for the Homecoming game this evening.
During the assembly there will be performances by the varsity cheerleaders, Willow Canyon’s marching band, Evolution Show Choir, WCHS street theater, Canyon Fusion Dance Company, the hip hop dance club, and the powderpuff male cheerleaders.
Student Council will also announce the homecoming royalty for the dance: duke and duchess (for freshmen), lord and lady (for sophomores) and prince and princess (for juniors). The senior Homecoming King and Queen will be announced during the Homecoming game Friday night.
Friday night’s activities will start with a pre-game party. Willow Canyon’s varsity football team kicks off against the Sandra Day O’ Connor Eagles at 7 p.m. Regular admission is $5 per person, but if former students bring their IDs, they will only be charged $4. There will also be fireworks during the halftime show when the Homecoming King and Queen are announced.
Mr. Goto encourages students to “have fun, be creative and don’t be afraid to let another side of you show, but keep in mind that there’s an approprite time and place for everything. You’re still at school, but make the most out of it, and have a great time.”
The Homecoming dance takes place Saturday, October 2 from 7 to 10 p.m. Semi-formal attire and student ID cards are required. Students must also present tickets or purchase one at the door. Ticket prices are $25 for a couple and $15 for a single if purchased beforehand. They will be $15 per person at the door.
