Homecoming and Spirit Week

By Brittany Miller

Anticipation and anxiety fills the room every time the topics arise of homecoming and spirit week. Many wishful ideas float around Mr. Chad Griesel’s leadership class about what role each individual student would have if homecoming was approved.

“It doesn’t surprise me how excited my leadership class is with the thought of homecoming because there hasn’t been a successful one at Messmer since 2004!” states Mr. Griesel. Although this is true about homecoming, spirit week has been a lot more successful in coming into play at Messmer.

“We’ve had a spirit week at Messmer ever since I can remember”, stated senior Jasmine Douglas. People in the leadership class are just as equally excited about spirit week especially since it is more likely to happen. They have come up with numerous ideas for spirit week, but only a few made it through Mr. Griesel’s evaluation process. Included in this process are the pep rally, class color day, a tailgate party, and a school spirit day. Since none of these days have been officially approved by principal Mr. Jeff Monday, Griesel is accepting more ideas from outside people as well as his leadership class.

“While we are working to get spirit week and homecoming approved by Mr. Monday keep in mind what they both are truly about, promoting spirit among classes,” says Mr. Griesel.

As the date of possible approval approaches, the student body eagerly awaits the answer of Principal Monday.
