More than just books

When people think of education, studying subjects like reading, writing, math, history, and more come to mind. Oftentimes, the non-curricular moments may go unnoticed. Before CR-B Schools let out for the holiday break, the student council helped set up dress-up days for staff and student enjoyment.
“My favorite part of the holiday dress-up days is spreading Christmas cheer,” said senior Violet Johnson. “It lets the students get into the Christmas spirit before Christmas break.”
Junior Tyrika Floyd and special education teacher Jen Mason stayed comfortable and promoted the holiday spirit by dressing up in the same pajama outfit.
“I think it gives us an opportunity to be a little less serious and have fun in school,” Mason said. “I like wearing funny things to make people smile.”
“I really enjoy dress-up days because it makes me feel closer to my friends and the student body,” Floyd continued.
Dress-up days also promote Crusader Pride.
“I believe it promotes school spirit by being able to dress up however you feel,” said senior Coleman Heiderscheit. “Looking around and seeing some of the creativity that people have is fun, and it inspires others to join in on the festivities.”
