“What is school spirit?”<\/p>\n
I asked a few of our student leaders in Grade 4 and 5 this question. And they had some really great answers: coming together as a school, motivation, support, having fun, meeting new people, cheering, getting hyped up, and of course, parties. When I asked them if they thought school spirit was important, the answer was a resounding “YESSSS!”.<\/p>\n
Then I asked, “do you think our school has a lot school spirit?”. There was a slight pause, almost as though they were waiting for someone else to speak first. Then someone spoke up, “we could have more”. We could have more. Agreed, kiddo.<\/p>\n
This was followed by an enthusiastic and inspiring conversation about what we could be doing to engage students at our school and how we can “make people like school more”. These student leaders have some amazing ideas!<\/p>\n
