Letter To The Editor: Spirit Week At Severna Park High School

I'm a Scout of Troop 993, working on my communication merit badge, which requires me to write an email to my local newspaper and share my opinion on any subject. I would like to present an idea for Severna Park High School.

Currently, we are doing our spirit week to show school spirit. I would like to suggest something new, a Hogwarts week, where the four grades compete for house points and the grade that wins has a pizza party the following Saturday with the theme of their house. Freshmen equals Hufflepuff, sophomore equals Slytherin, junior equals Ravenclaw, and senior equals Gryffindor.

Of course, the principal will dress as the old man and the teachers can dress as their favorite teacher from Hogwarts. The house points can be given based on a student's integrity or just how nice they are, like maybe cleaning the cafeteria or picking up trash in the halls. Maybe even just give a compliment to a teacher. I think this idea is great and with tweaking can be a fun week for all students and teachers.

Thank you,

Jake Allen
