The spirit is back! Spirit Fridays are officially back on, and now with a whole new system to earn them! Now students and faculty can represent their clubs and sports at school, while keeping our campus clean as can be. All the students have to do is follow the new sets of rules, and they can keep their Spirit Friday for their grade for weeks! Many students are very hyped about the new system and Spirit Friday is better than ever.

Spirit Friday is the opportunity for Tempe Preparatory Academy students to be able to wear a t-shirt from any of their Temp Prep clubs, sports, trips, and school spirit! Everybody loves Spirit Friday, and freshman Kailee Austin proudly exclaims “Spirit Fridays are a great way to show off all our students’ sports, clubs, and other activities. They allow us to show a little extra spirit and change things up a bit from our normal everyday uniforms, plus they are super swaggy.”

Spirit Friday excites the entire student body and staff, plus shows how much spirit TPA really has, and let’s not forget about all of its swag of course.

After the unfortunate decline of the previous Spirit Friday arrangement, Tempe Prep has created a new way to help clean our school environment and be able to continue our Spirit Fridays. This new program enables students of every grade to take on the responsibility of cleaning our campus for one week each, and in the process granting them 7 weeks of Spirit Fridays.

Senior Rebekah Chadwick explains, “I really like how we all have our own responsibility now. If you don’t do your work, then you don’t get the reward and it works so much better.” I completely agree with Rebekah, because now it is individual, and not as much work for the entire student body. The whole school is excited for this arrangement, and those who have already tried it loved it.

Clark Campbell explains, “Spirit Fridays are a great way to show off school spirit and spread the publicity of new clubs.”

Remember that Spirit Fridays are for you, and a reward, only for the price of a small cleanup. So make sure to help clean the school when it is your grade’s turn, and until and after that, enjoy your Spirit Fridays!
