Friday Spirit Week

Every year Friday is Spirit Day!  Students dress up and go all out to show their school spirit.  The drumline plays before school to pump everyone up for the pep assembly and the football game.  All of the students wear Southwest gear, school colors, makeup, paint, hair color and glitter.   People go crazy on Spirit day!





Today students had shortened class periods so there was time at the end of the day for a pep assembly.  Classes compete in cheer competitions at the pep rally, so there are designated areas in the bleachers for each class.


This is an hour full of cheering, dance, races and fun.  The choir, dance team, cheer squad, drumline and band preform.  Seniors in clubs and sports are celebrated and homecoming court is announced. 






Right after school at 4:00pm there was a parade.  Different clubs and activities create floats and compete to see who has the best float!





The parade ended at Southwest just in time for the Tailgate Party.  There was music, food and games.  Everyone comes before the game to meet up with their friends and get ready for the big football game.

Even I came out to supprt the team at the Tailgate!



The game starts at 7:00 and there is something for everyone.  You can watch football, hang out with friends, go to the concession stand and get a hot dog.  This year the Southwest Trojans killed the West Wildcats!  Go Trojans! 


After the game students were invited to hang around the stadium and celebrate the win with a DJ!
