SPIRIT WEEK 2019 January 28 – February 1 Purpose Spirit Week is an opportunity for class members to work together to build grade-level and school community through vigorous, but friendly, competition against other grades. Each day’s activities should increase class pride, involvement, and enthusiasm. All activities should fit with the mission of Westminster, which is to honor Jesus Christ. Competitions Daily dress-up contests Games during pep rallies Art Board, Film Project, Boys Poms, and Lip Sync competitions Changes As the week progresses, the Spirit Leadership Team reserves the right to make changes to the guidelines for any activity if there is reason to believe that the changes will better serve the purpose of Spirit Week. Proper and timely communication of any changes will be made to the classes and sponsors. Questions and Concerns Any individual with a question or concern must first approach the appropriate class sponsor or the Student Life Office. If the matter needs clarification or ruling beyond his/her own scope, he/she will take the matter to the Spirit Leadership Team sponsor. Spirit Leadership Team Sponsor – Maggie Sperber Spirit Leadership Team – Lauren Bohlmann, Sabrina Granata, Arista Hampton, Luci Hilboldt, Hunter Kramer, Casen Lawrence, Harrison Lawrence, Jackson Lawrence, Caroline Megown, Sophia Mullen, Sara Cate Murray, Kyleigh Peer, Thomas Shultz, Joshua Stratton, Zion Thompson, Sam Vestal, Will Vestal, Emma Volding Student Life – Susie Brown and Ashley Woodall Parent Volunteer Liaison – Lisa Rupprecht

Extracurricular Music Guidelines Teachers, advisors, coaches, and student leaders planning to use music in any function outside the classroom should follow these guidelines: 1. Generally speaking, any music by Christian bands—those bands promoted as “Christian”—may be played, unless specific portions of the song would not meet the other criteria outlined in these guidelines.


2. Music by bands not professing to be Christian may be played, but must be reviewed carefully. References (implicit or explicit) to violence, drugs, or sex will disqualify a song. Songs with multiple versions, one of which is explicit, will be disqualified. 3. Any profanity will disqualify an entire song. 4. A song that repeatedly or prominently uses questionable language or words with a great deal of “shock value” for some younger audiences should also be avoided. 5. Bands with a general reputation for music about violence, drugs, or sex should not be approved. Taste of Westminster Monday, January 28–Friday, February 1 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday - 5–6:30 p.m. • Thursday - 5–6 p.m. $7/meal During Spirit Week, PAW hosts Taste of Westminster in the Caf​é​.

This tradition is recognized beyond our immediate community and draws many spectators, especially to the final competitions near the end of the week. A special performance of each of these events will be held for all parents, guests, and members of the greater Westminster community on Thursday evening, January 31 at 6:30 p.m. in the Westminster Arena and also concurrently in the Gymnasium. ​All groups will perform in both


locations in the same order. They will perform in one location and then in the second location about 5–10 minutes later. No scores will be announced prior to the last pep rally on Friday. The top two winners in Boys Poms and Lip Sync will perform after the Friday night basketball game. In addition, performances will be broadcast online following afternoon pep rallies on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Spirit Week Crew 2019 Masters of Ceremonies – It’s a surprise!

For absentee counting: If juniors want to be counted during their Junior Privilege, they must check in with the Academic Hub at the beginning of the period. If that happens to be the period that is counted, the juniors will be included in the totals. If they do not check in, no one will count them. If a senior wants to be counted during Senior Privilege, he or she must check in with the Academic Hub before signing out.

MONDAY Chariot Relay You will need: ● 8 students (4 pullers, 4 riders) ● 1 blanket (provided by Spirit Leadership Team) How to play: Each team of puller and rider races from the starting line to the end marker, around the line judge and back. Four teams from each class must complete this route. If the rider falls off, no progress can be made until the rider is back on the blanket. The first class with all 4 teams finished wins. Note: There will be two timed heats. Floor is Lava You will need: ● 6 female students ● 6 male students How to play: Each grade will be given three carpet squares and they must get all six people as fast as they can to the opposite side without touching the floor. Each grade will have a judge following them to avoid cheating, and if a team steps on the ground, the leading carpet square group must go back to the last square and start from there. The male students will cross the gym floor in one direction and the female students will trade with them at the end and return the same distance across the floor. Blindfold Dodgeball You will need: ● 2 female students ● 2 male students ● 2 blindfolds ● Dodgeballs How to play: Students from each grade will partner up, and one will wear a blindfold while the other leads them. The partner without the blindfold will help their partner pickup, aim, and throw the dodgeballs at students from a different grade level. If either of the partners are hit with a dodgeball, they are out. If the blindfolded partner catches the dodgeball, then the thrower is out. The grade level with the last pair remaining wins. Ultimate Chicken You will need: ● 7 students (at least 3 team members must be female students)


1 chicken (provided by Spirit Leadership Team)

How to play: Ultimate Chicken is a non-contact sport where there are seven players on the court for each team at a time. Each point begins with both teams lining up on the front of their respective end zone line. The defense throws the stuffed chicken across court to the other team to begin the game. The team with the chicken has to move the chicken down the court into the other end zone by throwing the chicken, but with no running after the catch. Once the chicken is caught, the player must stop and throw to another teammate until they reach the end zone. When a pass is not completed (e.g. out of bounds, drop, block, interception, stalled), the defense immediately takes possession of the chicken and becomes the offense.The team with the chicken is trying to get the chicken into the other end zone and score while the other team is trying to stop them. A player must have both feet in the end zone on the catch to qualify as a point. The simpler explanation for this game is: ultimate frisbee with a chicken. Each match will last two minutes, and the team who scores more points in those two minutes advances to the next round. The juniors and seniors have a first round bye. Half-court Shot - Boys You will need: ● 2 male students (1 on Monday and 1 on Wednesday) How to play: Each male student has one chance to make a half-court shot. You will need: ● 2 males and 2 females students (1 male and 1 female per day) How to play: Student has one chance to make a half-court shot. Each day (Monday and Wednesday) must have a different shooter. Tug o’ War You will need: ● 8 male students and 8 female students How to play: 1. Each class will choose eight boys and eight girls to represent it throughout the week. The same students should participate in each tug. Substitutions may be made only in the case of illness. 2. No “sticky” aid may be applied to feet. Tennis shoes must be worn. No open-toed shoes, sandals, flip-flops, or bare feet. Gloves may be worn. 3. No wrapping the rope around hands, wrists, or neck. 4. No excessive pulling or letting go when the final whistle blows. 5. Additional tugs (staff vs. winners, boy winners vs. girl winners) will be performed only if participants are willing and/or time allows, and an advance request is given to the Spirit


Week sponsor. Both teams must know about the challenge. There will be no instant challenges. TUESDAY Mattress Surfing Race You will need: ● 20 students as “rollers” ● 2 students as “surfers” ● Twin-sized mattress (provided by Spirit Leadership Team) How to play: Ten students will lie on the floor shoulder-to-shoulder, and the mattress will be placed on top of them. The students under the mattress will roll to allow the mattress to move across the floor. As the mattress moves further along, the students near the end will have to get up and run to the front of the line. Once the mattress crosses the gym floor, the rollers and surfer will trade spots and a new 10 rollers and one surfer will send the mattress back across the gym. Note: There will be two timed heats. Tag Royale You will need: ● 4 students (2 boys 2 girls) ● Flag football flags (provided by Spirit leadership team) ● Caution Tape(provided by spirit leadership team) How to play: Students will try to pull the flags of the other grades. The last remaining students will earn points for their grade. When there are students remaining, the teachers on the outside holding the caution tape will move in, making the circle smaller. Similarly, the circle will shrink again at eight students. Junk Relay You will need: ● 4 female students ● 4 male students ● Junk (garden hose, shoes, traffic cones, sombreros, etc.) How to play: Each grade level team will line up on one side of the gym with the box of on the opposite side.

Then, the second person has to take the object from their teammate and run it down and pick up a new object along with the object they already have. Then they should run it down to the next person in line and hand off their objects. This should


repeat until every person has gone. The team who has all their members complete the relay first wins.
