Spirit week is a Timberlane Regional High School tradition that has been going on for decades. Spirit week is a way to bring the school together and encourage participation from students in events to bring the school together. The spirit week themes for 2025 were Disney, camo, character day, bring anything but a backpack, and color/toga day. There were events held that week as well such as, the pep rally, carnival, and the dance.
There were many parts of spirit week that the students and teachers were looking forward to. Peter Morrissey, junior at TRHS, said, “I’m most excited for the pep rally cause it’s a lot of fun. You can see the entire school get hyped up and it’s just a lot of fun.” During the pep rally there was the toga walk, class lip sync, dance team and cheer performance, tug of war, and relay race. It was on the final day of spirit week at the end of the day.
There were many class competitions during the pep rally. During the pep rally, the juniors won the tug of war, seniors won the lip sync, and admin won the relay race. James Shivell, a teacher at TRHS, said, “My favorite part of spirit week is the class competitions during the pep rally. I just think they’re a ton of fun with the teachers included with the four classes, probably the best part.” Many teachers and students could not wait until pep rally to see all the class competitions happen.
The final day of spirit week is always color day where the freshmen wear blue, sophomores wear red, juniors wear green, and the seniors wear togas. Emerson Aprile, senior at TRHS, said, “The day I am most excited for is color day because I can’t wait to wear my toga and walk around the gym and see everyone together.” Many students love color day since every year they get to wear a different color and then get to wear a toga senior year. During the pep rally you are able to see the classes come together when in their sections and during class competitions since they are all wearing their class colors. At the end of the pep rally the winner of all of spirit week was announced and the winner for the 2025-2026 school year is the seniors.
