Dear Evergreen Families,
As we countdown to the winter holidays, our whole school is invited to join in a week of festive fun! Each day will feature a special theme, imagined by our grade 4 students, designed to bring joy, creativity, and plenty of school spirit. From cozy outfits to crafty creations and bursts of holiday cheer, Winter Spirit Week is a wonderful way for students and staff to celebrate together before the break. We can’t wait to see everyone’s enthusiasm, imagination, and festive flair as we wrap up the year in style!
Winter Spirit Week:
- 🎄 Merry Miracle Monday – Let the Magic Begin!
Kick off Spirit Week with a burst of holiday cheer! Wear your most festive clothing and dive into winter arts and crafts. We’ll be creating snowy masterpieces both inside and outside—weather permitting. Let the creativity sparkle! - ✨ Tinsel-Tastic Tuesday – Shine and Sparkle!
Time to deck the halls… and the classrooms! Students are invited to decorate windows and doors while rocking festive hats, headbands, or fabulously crazy holiday hair. The more dazzling, the better—let your imagination twinkle! - ❄️ Winter Wonder Wednesday – Game On!
Put on your festive outfits and get ready for a school-wide winter board games and trivia extravaganza! Indoors or outdoors (depending on the weather), it’s a day filled with fun, laughter, and friendly competition. Winter wonder awaits! - 🎁 Terrific Tastic Thursday – Ugly Sweater Extravaganza!
Pull out your most outrageous, bedazzled, gloriously tacky Christmas sweater and wear it with pride! The sillier and more sparkly, the better. Let’s see who brings the ugliest holiday spirit of all! - 🎬 Fun Film Friday – Cozy Celebration!
The grand finale of Spirit Week! Come to school in your comfiest pyjamas, bring along a favourite stuffie, and settle in for a festive movie day. It’s the perfect cozy celebration to wrap up a magical week!
