The HSPS staff had a little fun this week doing an “underground spirit week”! The staff dressed up each day and then shared little smiles as the students tried to figure out what was going on!

Monday – Monochromatic day
Tuesday – Accessory Day
Wednesday – Lumberjack Day
Thursday – Sweats and hoodies plus anything but a cup day!

This was a great way to start 4th quarter and build a little staff morale.
