Orcas Elementary/Middle School Principal Kyle Freeman brought the idea for a Spirit Week to the Elementary and Middle Schools this fall, and the 6th grade Leadership class took the lead on a week of class fund. Each day had a different dress-up theme:
Monday was Pajama Day,
Tuesday was Hat Day,
Wednesday was “Your Favorite Book Character” Day,
Thursday was Twin (or Triplet, Quintuplet, etc. ) Day,
Friday was Class Color Day, with most classes selecting a “theme” color and Nancy Knapp’s 5th grade choosing “Tie-Dye.”

An assembly on Friday wrapped up Spirit Week’s highlights. Reading teacher Susan Stolmeier organized a Readers’ Theater, with the teachers doing a choral reading of Gruffalo.
