What an incredible week of Secret Spirit Week surprises honoring our phenomenal leadership team, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Thomas, as Principal and Assistant Principal of the Year finalists!

While they didn't take home the top awards at Thursday night’s banquet, they will *always* be the ultimate winners to our school family.

To show them just how much they mean to all of us, we pulled off one final secret on Friday: surprising them with a school-wide clap out that led right into a huge celebration assembly! 👏 🎉

We were especially honored to welcome Mayor Clapsaddle, who joined our assembly to present an official proclamation honoring Mrs. Smith and Mr. Thomas for their extraordinary leadership, vision, and dedication to our school and community. 📜✨

Thank you, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Thomas, for leading our school with so much heart, energy, and joy every single day. We are so proud to learn, grow, and celebrate alongside you!

Okay, full disclosure: Mrs. Smith and Mr. Thomas *might* suspect something is up after seeing a school full of pajamas, wacky patterns, and matching styles this week... BUT we know for a fact they won't see this post tonight because they are currently at the Principal and AP of the Year Banquet!

What an unforgettable week it’s been celebrating the best admin team around! Tomorrow, we are wrapping up Secret Spirit Week in the ultimate way with Wake Forest Pride Spirit Day!

Let’s fill the halls with pride and show Mrs. Smith and Mr. Thomas just how much this school loves them! 🐾

🔴🔵 Here is your final mission for tomorrow:

* Wear your favorite Wake Forest shirt!
* OR rock our school colors: Red and Blue!

Huge congratulations and good luck to Mrs. Smith and Mr. Thomas at the banquet tonight—we are so proud of you both! Let's wrap it up tomorrow in full color!

SECRET SPIRIT WEEK: DRESS LIKE MRS. SMITH & MR. THOMAS DAY!

It’s time to match the best of the best! Tomorrow, we’re showing our Principal and AP of the Year finalists just how much we look up to them by channeling their iconic everyday style.

Imagine the double-takes when they walk down the hall tomorrow and realize everyone is dressed like their twin!

Here is your outfit blueprint for tomorrow’s mission:

🕶️ Channel Your Inner Mr. Thomas:

-Hair slicked back into a bun
-Sunglasses perched on top of your head
-A sharp collared shirt or Wake Forest or ECU t-shirt
-Black pants

👗 Channel Your Inner Mrs. Smith:

-A stylish dress
-A chic one-piece jumpsuit
-Or a favorite tennis skirt!

Pick your favorite leader's signature look (or mix both!), act completely natural when you see them, and let's show them who inspires us every day! 😉✨

🤫 SECRET SPIRIT WEEK CONTINUES: PAJAMA DAY TOMORROW!

(Reminder: absolute secrecy is key! Please do NOT mention this post to Mrs. Smith or Mr. Thomas. We are broadcast-posting this to the entire internet, so naturally, it's a total secret.)

First off, huge shoutout to everyone today—everyone looked so incredible showing off their college team gear!

Tomorrow, the surprise celebration for our Principal and AP of the Year finalists shifts into ultra-cozy mode for Pajama Day!

Can you imagine the look on Mrs. Smith and Mr. Thomas's faces when they walk in tomorrow expecting a normal day, only to find the *entire* school rolled straight out of bed in their pajamas? They are going to be so surprised!

Here’s the mission for tomorrow:
🛌 The Fit: Roll out of bed and wear your favorite cozy pajamas to school.

👟 Safety Check: Please make sure students wear or bring sneakers so they can run around safely at recess and PE!

Rest up, get cozy, and remember... act completely natural tomorrow morning! 🥱💤

🤫 **TOP SECRET SPIRIT DAY TOMORROW!** 🤫
(Whatever you do, do NOT tag Mrs. Smith or Mr. Thomas… and definitely don't tell them we posted this on Facebook. Standard covert protocol.)

Tomorrow, we’re honoring our leaders’ academic roots with a College Spirit Day! 🎓✨

Here is your mission, should you choose to accept it:
🦅 Represent Mrs. Smith: Rock your NC Central or Harvard gear!

🏴‍☠️ Represent Mr. Thomas: Show your ECU Pirate Pride!

🏆 Wildcard: Wear gear from your favorite college team!

Let’s see how long it takes them to realize why the halls are filled with Eagles, Crimson, and Pirates tomorrow morning. Keep it on the down-low! 😉
