🏖️ TUESDAY: ENDLESS SUMMER
What did you do all summer? SHOW US!
Break out the T-shirt that tells your summer story:
Camp shirt
Summer sports team gear
4-H or Scouts gear
Vacation souvenir shirt
Beach/summer vibes
Basically, dress like you’re still on summer vacation… but please leave the swimsuits at home. 😎
🏈 WEDNESDAY: JERSEY DAY
Rep your team!
Wear a jersey, sweatshirt, or other gear representing your favorite sports team. Professional, college, high school, youth league, imaginary team you invented in your backyard… we’re not picky.
🌲 THURSDAY: INTO THE WOODS
Be at one with nature.
Think:
🪓 Lumberjack
🏕️ Camper
🌲 Outdoorsy
🦌 Woodland creature
🪖 Camo
Plaid? Absolutely. Flannel? Obviously. Camo? Sure. Looking like you just wandered out of the forest? Perfect.
🛡️ FRIDAY — VIKING SPIRIT
LET'S GO, VIKES!
Break out the Maroon • White • Black • Grey and all your Viking gear!
Viking shirts, jerseys, school gear, spirit wear — if it screams Waverly Viking, wear it!
⚡ THE HAMMER OF THOR IS UP FOR GRABS! ⚡
Think your homeroom has the most Viking spirit? PROVE IT.
We'll log spirit participation percentages for every homeroom throughout Spirit Week. At the end of the week, we'll see which homeroom brought the most spirit, the most enthusiasm, and the most commitment to looking absolutely ridiculous in the interest of school pride. 😂
🏆 The most spirited homeroom will become the FIRST recipient of the 2026–27 traveling trophy:
🔨 THE HAMMER OF THOR 🔨
The Hammer of Thor will travel from homeroom to homeroom throughout the school year, going to the group that earns bragging rights for their outstanding commitment to our homeroom challenges.
So choose your outfits wisely.
Your homeroom is counting on you. Mike the Vike and Thor are watching. ⚡👀
