[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s sad all the kids who “don’t want to participate in spirit day.” It’s meant to be fun! It breaks up the long year od drudgery. I get why a child wouldn’t participate every spirit day, but not at all? That seems sad to me - in need of further investigation.[/quote]

Hey head cheerleader and SGA president, math team coach here:  Not everyone thinks that the stuff you find fun is fun, and not everyone thinks that the academic part of school is drudgery.  [/quote]

You sound like a party pooper. I'm just a parent, not on the PTO, and at our elementary school its the admin that plans the spirit weeks and other special days. My kids are very into the academics and are straight A students. That does not interfere with their enjoyment of spirit weeks, and winter sucks in this area, even if you like school. Its a nice diversion. And its optional - don't participate if you don't want to. [/quote]

Is there such thing as a “straight A” elementary student?[/quote]

Montgomery county starts giving out As in second grade so I guess yes[/quote]
