This week is Spirit Week at the school. Monday was Mustache Day where the faculty “mustache” the students to have school spirit. On Tuesday, with a theme of “we’re all a team,” students got to wear sports clothing and/or hats. On Wacky Wednesday, they could wear wacky clothing and have wacky hair. Today, PJ Thursday, they’re “tired” of bullying and are wearing pajamas. Tomorrow for Spirit Day, everyone can dress in the school colors, red and white.
The PTO has new baseball tees. They are $15 with glitter and $12 without glitter. (View on the PTO Facebook page.) Orders need to be turned in to the office by tomorrow. There are extra order forms in the office.

“We had a smaller team than most schools, but we double-entered our speakers,” adviser Scott Jackson said. “Each speaker performed extremely well in their respective events. As a result, we were able to place ahead of teams with many more competitors.”
Individual team members also did well. Dylan took first in SPAR (Spontaneous Argumentation) and third in Lincoln-Douglas debate, Larisa placed third in SPAR and K’Leigh came in sixth in Student Congress.
Manti High School
