With homecoming only occurring once a year, students, such as senior Stephanie Chewning, give spirit week their all.

“Spirit days are a great way to show your school pride and spirit,” Chewning said. “I will never be able to describe how much I love Lake Braddock, so to me, spirit days are the best ways of expressing it.”

In many cases, students won’t participate in all of the spirit days, whether it is because a lack of an outfit or lack of interest.

“I’m not really sure why people wouldn’t want to participate in spirit days,” Chewning said. “I know some days are harder to dress up than others, but it’s just one week and it’s more than just dressing up, it’s a chance to show your spirit and even win money for your class.”

This year the spirit days were Mediterranean Monday, Toga Tuesday, Rush Wednesday, Socrates vs Hercules Thursday and Gods vs Titans Friday.

With such a large student population, LB has an array of outfits and takes on the spirit days. Junior Liam Kelly dressed as the Greek philosopher, Socrates, on Socrates vs Hercules day. Kelly knew that Socrates vs Hercules day meant nerds vs jocks, but chose to take it to a more literal level.

“I enjoyed Socrates vs Hercules day the most because I was able to dress as Socrates,” Kelly said. “This year’s themes were great. I can’t wait until next year’s homecoming.”

While homecoming has come and gone, the memories are here to stay.
