On Wednesday, Feb. 7, Archie Williams’ third day of Winter Formal Spirit Week occurred, with the theme of Monsters University. ASB encouraged students to come to school wearing their favorite college merch, to tie into the “university” theme. This day followed the Disney concept for Spirit Week, which will end with Saturday’s Cinderella’s ball-themed Winter Formal. 

Students around Archie Williams wore college merch from schools they aspired to go to after high school. Freshman Nalin Lloyd wore a Stanford hoodie to school, a university he hopes to attend in the future.

“It’s a [great] college, and that’s where I’m gonna go when [I’m older,]” Nalin said. 

Nalin liked the Monsters University idea, and thought it was a relatively easy dress-up theme.  

“I like having a theme of what to wear [throughout the week],” Nalin said.

Other students just enjoy the style that college merch brings to their daily outfits. Freshman Matias Etura-Fedrigo thought it was a fun dress-up day, because he enjoys wearing college merch.

“I feel like colleges have good logos that we should represent,” Matias said. 

This Spirit Week aims to get students excited for the upcoming Winter Formal Dance, which will take place at Peacock Gap on Saturday, Feb. 10. Students look forward to Friday’s spirit day theme, which will be based on the movie High School Musical.
