NOT
CHECKED!!
By: Lindsey Garner
Students with face paint and crazy hair
are just a few of the sights that you saw
during this year's Spirit Week.
Students in every grade showed their
school spirit by participating in the
" dress-up days" to earn points
for their class. The days were: Bummin it
Day, Twin Day, Crazy Hair Day, Hawaiian
Day, and School Colors Day.
The students also participated in small
contests like a guessing of the singer of
a song, or a lollipop tree. New
this year, students paid for strips of
duct tape to attach assistant principal,
Dr. Smith, to the gym wall for the pep
rally. Then, let us not forget the
most famous contest of all: the Penny
Wars. These are where
students will bring in loose change, and
put them in selected buckets. There
was one bucket for each class, and the
classes tried to collect as many pennies
as possible. For example, each
penny counted as one point, and each
nickel counted as five points, each dime
worth ten points, and so on. The
more pennies that a class has, the
better, but for instance, if they have a
nickel, since it is worth five points, it
sort of "cancels out" five of
the pennies. The worst that one
class can do to another however, is put
in dollar bills, because a one-dollar
bill is worth 100 points. Which is
if you want to do the math, takes away
100 pennies.
On Friday afternoon, during the last
period of school, Dickinson had its
annual Homecoming Pep Rally. This
is the time where the students let loose,
yelling and screaming. This is also
where the 2001 Homecoming Court was
announced and presented to the school.
The seniors of the court were: Addi
Tetreault, Paul Nam, Ryan
Blackston, Gerald Yelverton, Crystal
Marvian, Colleen Spidaro, Shelly Pow
