With winter break soon approaching, Norwalk’s student council is helping Norwalk students get in the holiday spirit.
From Dec. 16 to Dec. 20, students will be able to participate in dress-up days. On Monday, students can wear their favorite holiday pajamas. On Tuesday, each grade is assigned a different color to dress up in. Freshman will wear white, sophomores will wear blue, juniors will wear green, and seniors will wear red. Wednesday is Twin Day, where students can twin with a friend by wearing similar clothing. Thursday is Grinch Out, where students can dress like the Grinch, or just wear green. Finally, to celebrate the last school day before winter break, Friday is holiday out.
“I think I’ll participate in dress-up days,” junior Teegan Kralik said. “It really represents our school spirit and gives me something to look forward to”
The dress-up days have become a staple of Norwalk High School’s holiday celebrations, and many students have been looking forward to these days, one of them being junior Addie Smith.
“I think that the dress-up days and holiday events are a very fun opportunity and participating in them makes high school more fun,” Smith said. Smith, a supporter of the Christmas holiday, frequently participates in holiday functions. She also said that the dress-up days were “a free pass to wear whatever you want and not get weird looks in the hallways.”
Also on Dec. 13, there will be student council’s Holly Jolly Family Fun Night. This event is for students and families from all over Norwalk and will be located in the NPECC from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Entry is free, and they will be accepting donations to the Norwalk food pantry.
“It’s been a fantastic experience,” said senior Emma Sizemore, head of the winter action team for student council. “My team has really had my back through this whole time, and we really want to create a great experience for the community.”
Sizemore said she is excited to see people celebrating the holidays. Sizemore also wanted to remind Norwalk students that they are in need of volunteers, and will provide silver cord hours to anyone interested.
“I’m confident that we will get a lot of families to come and celebrate the holidays, even if you don’t celebrate the holidays at all,” Sizemore said.
