Spirit Week Questions for Teachers

How many themes should we plan?

A five-day week is common, but three days or a single themed Friday can work just as well. Choose a schedule your staff and families can manage.

How can we keep spirit week affordable?

Offer a no-shopping outfit for every theme and avoid requirements for specific brands. School colors can be a paper badge; Sports Day can be a plain shirt in team colors.

What should we send to families?

Include the dates, daily themes, simple outfit suggestions, and normal dress expectations. Our planner creates a note you can copy into your usual school communication channel.
