Spirit Week is quickly approaching! $is year’s Homecoming extrava-ganza starts on October 5 and lasts until October 9, the day before Home-coming. On Friday, Sep-tember 18, Centennial students voted on which spirit days they wanted to participate in this year. On Monday, Octo-ber 5, Centennial High School will host Paja-ma Day. Pajama Day’s title speaks for itself. “It makes the day seem a little less intense and more fun if we get to go through the day in our comfy PJs,” senior Hira Ahmed remarked. $e

hallways !ood with seas of !annel, cotton, and students at ease. Tuesday’s theme is Maryland Day. Kristen Lee, a sophomore, said that “it inspires state spirit.” Maryland Day transitions the school from patriotic colors to colors more speci"c to the state: red, yellow, white, and black. Wednesday is Twin Day, which freshman Agnes Subramanian is looking forward to. “I’m super excited for Twin Day! I get to spend [it] matching with my best friend!” Disney, or Character Day, is being held on $ursday. “[Character Day] is what I’m most looking forward to. It’s

just a lot of fun to put together costumes, and see what everyone else did,” said junior Frances Kramer. On Character Day, students dress up as their favorite characters. Creativity is key on this special day. $e infamous Color Day is on Friday. Color Day serves as a test of class spirit, when the various grade levels dress head to toe in their class color. $e classes compete among each other to be the most spirited. Freshmen dress in black, sophomores in blue, juniors in white, and seniors in red. Kramer remarked, “It’s always fun to see how people are so proud of their grade.” Centennial hosts a pep rally on the Friday before
