They'd never had a spirit week here at Mount Carmel High School, but Lucia (see in picture below) and I are a part of the student council, which is sponsoring the week's events. Here is an overview of the weeks events:
Monday: Jingle contest. The winning jingle will be presented on Independence day for the whole town in the Cancha!
Tuesday: Red, White and Blue day. (See pictures in the last post) Students and staff alike were allowed a casual day, with some limitations. You had to have red, white and blue as the majority of your clothing color. You could paint your face and hair, so that was neat to see some of the students do that! On Monday, I had to go explain the rules to the 1st and 2nd form girl's classes just to make every single rule extremely clear (because we knew they'd try to push the limits)! When talking about face/body painting I was explaining that you could write things on your face such as "I love Belize!" and "MCHS rocks!" You could NOT, however, write things like "Justin Bieber is my husband" in red, white and blue. You COULD write things such as "I love Miss Shelby!" or "Math class is stupendous!" See picture below:
3 girls did it! BAHAHA! I was kidding and they probably shouldn't have done it, but they like to bend the rules. The girl next to me, Irma, won "best dressed" of the school for RWB day!
We also played some popular Spanish music in the gym during lunch, so that was fun!
Wednedsay: Today is class decorating day. The homerooms have to decorate their class with recycled materials to show their love for Belize and MCHS. This competition might have been changed to tomorrow...I couldn't go to the Stu.Co. meeting yesterday as I was busy with Handmaidens, Math tutoring and volleyball.
Thursday: Baking day. The homerooms get together and create an edible piece of art that also goes along the themes of Belize and MCHS. I had this great idea to have everyone in class make a batch of Rice Krispie treats, which we would use to create a model of the Myan ruins here in Belize. It would have been so great...if they knew what Rice Krispie treats were... They had also come up with another idea, before I presented mine, so they were partial to baking a cake and decorating it with a Belizean theme. I'm still excited to see it. I'll post pictures of the results next time!
Firday: NO SCHOOL! Indepence Day! Students will still meet for Mass at school, but then we'll all go to the parade (weather permitting). Homerooms will, throughout the week, create a banner that will be included in the town's parade. I'm pretty excited for it! This has been an MCHS tradition for years and I'm really excited to be a part of it. I hear the parade is going to be great too! Bands, dancers, people on stilts, junior army corps and such!
Classes and individuals earn points for their homerooms throughout the week and on Friday, we will announce the winning class who will receive a prize! (Don't know what that is either, but that doesn't stop the kids from having a good time with it!)
