Headed by a reinvented Blue Crew, activities designed to boost school spirit are underway.

According to Blue Crew sponsor Jessica DeWild, any student in the student body is a member of Blue Crew.

“It’s fundamentally not different, we are just promoting it more this year,” DeWild said.

Students are hopeful Blue Crew will work better this year.

“I think the new Blue Crew idea will work better because people don’t feel obligated to be in a club,” senior Mackenzie Acree said.

Tutu and sign-making in the senior cafe by Blue Crew before the first home football game was a way to promote school spirit. The huge turnout resulted in them running out of materials.

“StuCo sponsor Erica Crist and I thought it would be a good idea for school spirit,” DeWild said. “It was just something fun for people to do.”

Senior Kelli Rutherford thinks the tutus will help add to school spirit.

“The tutus are really fun and creative, Rutherford said. “They look really cool too.”

Another activity organized by Blue Crew was a pot-luck tailgate held despite the rain before the football game.

“It was disappointing because of the rain, but people started coming closer to the game and everyone was really positive,” DeWild said.

DeWild wants everyone to get involved throughout the whole school year.

“I think spirit helps everyone to have more fun,” DeWild said. “School can be tiring unless you’re involved in things like extracurricular activities.”
