School spirit is very important. If you don't show good spirit then your school could come off as sad and depressing. If nobody likes their school they will not show much spirit and people will not care about school as much. In Pleasant Plains, we have alot of school spirit. Kids enjoy coming to school everyday (I don't mean for learning and class, its more for the friends and good attitudes) and seeing each other.
In some cases, school spirit can be taken too far. Such cases are during homecoming week and important athletic events. Generally, it can be taken way too far but quite honesty I find this hilarious and entertaining. When I heard some of the chants that were going to be said today at the Spirit Day games I laughed, alot. Yes, they were all ridiculously insulting but that is what makes it fun. The only thing we are allowed to say now is, Seniors go to college. All I can say is that they will be hurt by that one...
However, we cannot allow school spirit to get out of hand and verbal and physical fights ensue, we will all feel the consequences. These are normal problems though as everyone just wishes to have a little fun and enjoy the moments. School spirit can make a school a much happier and energetic place. For instance, if we are not allowed to have spirit and show this energy in the from of spirit week, the student body might as well just wear all black and come to school as gothic and emu kids.
School spirit also ultimately brings the school together. After the rivalry of todays spirit games dies down,we will all unite together to show support for our football team at tonights game against new berlin High School.
School spirit is something that many of take for granted. Without it, our school would not be nearly as much fun. Images such as the cardinal, our mascot, make school something much easier to be proud of. I would much rather support our football team than something else... in an extreme case math class.
