With the arrival of the winter season, Robinson introduces a holiday themed spirit week filled with creative silly topics for students to dress up to. I personally think this is a great idea to brighten up the hallways and gives students something to look forward to for the week before exams.

Monday we’re starting off strong with Christmas Pajama Day, and while most students already come to school in their pajamas already, this gives them the opportunity to make their outfit more festive. Dig out your favorite feel-good fuzzy pants decorated with anything from reindeer to Santa to little polar bears with mittens! Bonus points if you pull out a matching shirt.

Tuesday is Lumberjack Day and this can seem as basic as slapping on some flannel but you can take it to the next level with jeans, suspenders, or a wooly hat. This may not be the best day out of the bunch, but everyone should have at least something flannel, so I hope to walk into school on Tuesday to find a sea of red and black.

Wednesday is a Winter White Out! This also doubles as a day where we all dress up in one of our beloved school colors so everyone needs to have extra school spirit. This also may look like a boring idea but it’s actually pretty hard to make an entirely white ensemble. A lot of students just throw on a white t-shirt but to show that you’re willing to put in the effort, I challenge you to wear as many white articles of clothing as you can!

Thursday is a Holiday Accessory Day which includes hats, socks, headbands. I for one will be coming to school in my fuzzy snowflake socks, which both keep my feet warm and are absolutely adorable. People can bring Santa hats, antler headbands, or my personal favorite wear Christmas bows in their hair!

Friday is a classic Ugly Sweater Day. Although ugly sweaters aren’t really my jam, I do like to see how creative other students get with them. They can range from sweaters with peoples face on them, have funny slogans, or even light up! I’ve even seen ones that play music, however I strongly urge kids not to bring those to school at risk I die from annoyance. For this day though, the uglier the sweater the better!

Overall, there is a great selection of ideas to dress up for and even if you don’t want to participate in all the days just pick your favorites and go all out. I am a personal lover of the holidays and can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

About the Contributor
Anika Sanka
Anika Sanka, Staff Writer
Anika Sanka is a sophomore at Robinson and a staff writer of Knight Writers. This is her first year on staff. Sanka was brought to Journalism by her interest in creative writing and expressing her opinions through writing. An opinionated storyteller, Sanka favors opinion pieces where she can emphasize what she feels most passionate about. "I think stories where you can tell the reader is interested in and passionate about what they are writing about are much more enjoyable reads. That's why I like opinion pieces," Sanka said. Outside of the newsroom, Sanka enjoys AP European History and Biology class, which she misses from last year. She likes science, just not when math is involved. Sanka finds much time to avoid math by reading, dancing, attending meetings at the YMCA Leaders program or attending track practice. "Practice is five days a week and we have meets most weeks. It's kind of hard but pretty rewarding overall. Running recreationally to uplifting playlists is one of my [favorite] things to do," Sanka said In her free time Sanka enjoys going thrifting, shopping at her favorite store, Trader Joe's, or watching trashy, early '00s kid's movies. Some of her favorites include "A Cinderella Story," "She's That Man" and "How To Train Your Dragon." She loves trashy teen movies because she finds the predictable cliches and bad dialogue funny. When Sanka gets home and is ready to wind down from the day, she indulges in her favorite sweet treats, which are often chocolate based. "The thought of watching "Shameless" and eating a snack after school is the only thing that gets me through the day," Sanka said. Another one of Sanka's motives to get through the day is daydreaming about traveling, which she loves to do whenever she can. She wishes to one day go to Thailand because she wants to experience a culture that is extremely diverse from ours, and she loves their food. Sanka is excited for her future, but hasn't decided what she wants to be yet. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'll see where newspaper takes me," Sanka said.
