DRESS-UP DAYS

Dress-up days can be a valuable, fun way to promote school spirit. A week full different dress-up days are a great way to boost spirit during, especially during Homecoming and Spirit Weeks, and can help your student body market a theme. (For example, if you have a "Decades - Blast To The Past" homecoming theme, you can ask you student body to dress up as if they were from a different decade each day of the week. Monday 50's Day, Tuesday 60's Day etc.)
