Inside: Fun wild western day spirit week ideas you will love to wear.
If you’re not new here, you know that I am a spirit week fanatic. I just love it! It was my favorite part of high school, and it brings up nothing but fond memories for me. Because of this, I like to keep spirit week in my life in every way that I can. For now, this looks like giving this new generation of High School and Middle Schoolers the best spirit week ideas.
Today I am covering western day spirit week ideas that I think you need to see. These will help give you the inspiration and the motivation to have the best week of your life.
I guess I should probably start by explaining what western day spirit week is. Otherwise, you may show up to school expecting there to be tumbleweeds and old-timey food.
What is Western Day Spirit Week?
If you have made it this far in your school experience without a single spirit week, that saddens me. But at the same time, you are truly in for a treat. Spirit week is a designated week during the school year that consists of different themed days that students get to participate.
There are many different themes that can be selected to cover the 5 days. This is why I like to write about as many as I can. Schools get to pick their 5 themes, and though there are some more popular ones, the themes can vary.
Western Day Spirt Week is a day when students come to school dressed as what they think a western look is. Some kids come looking like they’re from an old western film, and others look like they just came in from a rodeo. It’s all about what you want.
Below you will find some wild west inspiration that will prepare you. These are perfect regardless of if you are in High School or Elementary. Saddle up, Cowboy!
