Mar. 15, 2023 NO THANKS School Spirit Days Have Gotten Completely Out of Hand Show of hands: How many of you have been forced to assemble a last-minute costume for an elementary school "spirit week"? Laura Fenton has: "'But I want to be Ant Man, not Batman!' my son protested, as I scoured the fridge for lunch fixings early one morning," she writes. "It was day four of Spirit Week, and, as usual, I was becoming very dispirited trying to pull the whole thing off. I'd assumed we were in the clear for 'Superhero Day,' seeing as we had several superhero costume elements in our dress-up bin, but my child had other ideas. He thought we could make a new superhero costume at 6:30 a.m. — and he was very disappointed when I disagreed." It's a lot! And she's finding it to be a real drag. As we head into the last half of the school year, I'm personally very over it. See if you relate.
