Spirit Week Comes to AMHS!

Spirit week at AMHS this year started on a Tuesday and students and teachers showed up in animal-themed onesies. It was a showcase of the playful and funny personalities of the ‘Ville. On Wednesday students showed up dressed as teachers, and Amityville staff came dressed as students. Teachers showed up wearing hats and hoodies and students came to school sporting ties, button up shirts, and pencil skirts. Thursday was the most festive day of the week, from sophomores to seniors, teachers to principals, many people were dressed to the nines in decade-themed clothes. Boot-cut jeans and peace sign bandannas littered the halls along with extravagantly colored hats and funky patterns. Many students felt unified by the school spirit shown across the building which led into the much anticipated pep rally on Friday where everyone was encouraged to wear class shirts or anything Amityville-related!

Pep Rally

As the bleachers filled up with freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, the seniors were in the auditorium getting prepared to run across the field, kicking off the rally with plenty of pride. Sports teams lined up by the tennis court in anticipation of their own run out. The AMHS marching band played the National Anthem, followed by We Are The Champions, and classes showcased their own dances. The teams were next, with each fall sport getting their own time to shine in the spotlight.
