As the school year enters its final weeks and final exams draw closer, students and staff transition into a period marked by important deadlines, end-of-year events, and graduation preparations for seniors. During this time, Spring Fling is scheduled as a week of organized activities and themed days designed to take place alongside regular academic responsibilities.

Spring Fling includes dress-down days in preparation for Prom. This year’s Prom theme is “Birdies and Ballgowns,” an upscale country club event. Spring Fling week runs from Monday, April 20 through Friday, April 24. The daily themes are dress like a villain or an old person, “Locked in a Tower” (comfy clothes), Rapunzel & Pascal (dress as a dynamic duo), “I’ve Got a Dream” (dress as your future self or dream career), and class color day on Friday. Seniors wear yellow, juniors wear pink, sophomores wear green, and freshmen wear purple.

Spring Fling week also includes morning activities. On Monday, Livin Aloha will be outside the commons at 7:00 a.m., and on Thursday, there will be positive note affirmation writing in the Student Success Center at 7:15 a.m.

In addition to morning events, there are lunch activities on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, Tangled will be shown on the TVs in the commons, and on Tuesday, there will be an escape game where participants can earn a free lunch cookie. An evening event will take place on Wednesday during the baseball game, which includes a tailgate and a chance to win a 7 Brew gift card. On Thursday, cookies will be distributed during 6th hour. To conclude the week, students can participate in a “Find Pascal” activity around the school and attend an assembly on Friday.

Spring Fling week outlines a full schedule of themed days and planned activities occurring throughout the school. Participation in these events takes place during designated times before school, during lunch periods, and at select after-school events. Students should review the schedule in advance to be aware of daily themes, activity locations, and timing. In addition, all participants are expected to follow the school dress code guidelines throughout the week, including not wearing leggings, ripped jeans, shorts, or pajamas. By following the outlined schedule and expectations, students and staff can ensure that all events run as planned during the final weeks of the school year.
