The Sage Hill Student Council and staff put in their hard work and creativity to coordinate Spirit Week, making it an exciting and unforgettable memory for the school community.
Starting Oct. 17, each day of the week was designated to a certain theme with corresponding outfits. Starting with the Pajama Day on Monday, students and faculty showed up in various outfits, wearing Sage Hill plaid pajama pants, sweatpants and onesies. On Tuesday, which was Twin Day, students and teachers coordinated outfits with one or more people and even matched each other with accessories such as hats and glasses. Wednesday was White Lie Day: Participants came to school wearing white shirts with white lies written on them, bringing humor onto the campus. On Thursday, which was Jersey Day, students and faculty came to Sage in sports jerseys of their favorite sports teams. On the final day, which was Pep Rally Day, students showed up in their grade level T-shirts, showing support and cheering for their grades. “My favorite was Twin Day because it was fun to see other people match together,” junior Natalie Asghar said.
During the Homecoming Tailgate on Friday night, the Sage community gathered at Ramer Field wearing pink to show their support for the Sage Hill football team that played against Flintridge Preparatory School. Despite playing a strong first half, Lightning Football fell to the Wolves 34-47.
Students, families and faculty enjoyed the food from food trucks that served tacos, burgers and desserts, such as ice cream and churros. Students also enjoyed taking pictures at the photo booth with the school mascot Stryker, and played games such as cornhole and spikeball. The Sage Hill Synergy Dance Ensemble and dance team performed during halftime in matching Halloween-themed outfits, showing support for the football team.
On Saturday night, the Homecoming dance in the science parking lot featured Halloween-themed decorations, a live DJ, a photo booth and games for students to enjoy. Students gathered to dance to the music and socialize with their friends.
“The football game was fun as there were many people that were cheering and I also performed with the dance team during halftime which was memorable,” junior Christine Li said.
