Springing+Into+Spirit

Sierra Vista High School jumps into Spring Week from March 18th to the 22nd. Vista includes five storybook dress up days, followed by an assembly after school Friday, in addition to the annual Spring Fest.

Monday, March 18th kicks off the Roald Dahl themed spirit week with “BFG Day” where students wear baggy attire to embody the character of the Big Friendly Giant. Tuesday continued the week with “Twitty Twins Day” where students and staff saw doubles all day long. “Wonka Wednesday” provided the chance to break out those whimsical colored clothes. Thursday’s “Matilda: When I Grow Up” gave students the chance to display their future selves. Lastly, Friday’s “Leo’s Chocolate Factory ” students wore their class colors, freshman had yellow, sophomores wore white, juniors had blue, and seniors repped black. On this magical day, students were submerged fully into Willy Wonka’s world at not only school, but the assembly, and most importantly Spring Fest. 

Concluding the week, Vista’s “Leo’s Chocolate Factory” opened up the gates at 6 pm to initiate this year’s Spring Fest.
