This week, the week before GA-PC day, has been filled with students seemingly continuing Halloween celebrations, as hippies, Hawaiian girls, eagles fans, and pajama-clothed students swarm around the hallways.  It’s Spirit Week!  Last Friday, the senior class’s spirit week fashion show displayed the themes for each day leading up to GA-PC day.  As students from the senior class paraded onstage presenting the “dos” and “don’ts” for each designated theme, the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors watched the comedic show, planning accordingly for the week ahead. 

 

Spirit week started off with Philly Pride day on Monday.  Eagles, Flyers, Sixers, and Phillies outfits were everywhere.  Tuesday, pajama day, students came dressed in their most relaxing clothing—sleepwear!  Unfortunately, naptime was not included.  Wednesday was titled Decade Day, where students could pick a decade and dress accordingly.  Poodle skirts, inside-out sweatshirts, and hippie sunglasses were only some of the many outfits seen around the GA Upper School.  There were even some people from the late 1800’s spotted walking around. 

 

Hawaiian shirts were all the rage on Thursday, which was Tropical Day.  Girls rustled around the hallways in grass skirts, and flower necklaces hung around many people’s necks, transforming GA into a tropical paradise. 

Spirit week came to a close on Friday, when students’ excitement and enthusiasm for GA-PC day reached a peak.  School spirit was shown in each person’s outfit, and GA-PC day shirts were everywhere.  The hallways were filled with masses of red, black, and blue while students admired their handiwork and that of their peers on hallway decorating.  The freshman class designed their hallway to look like Candyland (and yes, they had the candy as well as the land), the sophomores took their long hallway and transformed it into a walk through the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the juniors’ theme was Hollywood, and the seniors displayed Superheroes, which matched the GA-PC day shirts they had designed. 

 

Friday was also the annual Senior Stroll, and finally the all-school Pep Rally in the Big Gym.  Everyone is looking forward to an exciting GA-PC day and cheering GA on!
