Spring Fling Week, from March 24-28, is an annual celebration of school spirit normally bookended by Powder Puff football and the Sadie’s dance.

This year, however, Sadie’s will be held on March 21, the Friday before Spring Fling Week starts. Instead, the Benefit Fashion show will be using the gym during the second weekend of Spring Fling.

This scheduling change has spurred the commission into incorporating an “Around the World” theme into Spring Fling Week, which has not been done in the past.

“This is new for Spring Fling [because] we usually just have arbitrary dress up days,” senior Spring Fling commissioner Lauren M. Lin said. “We also hope that having a theme that encompasses the whole week will encourage more people to participate in activities.”

Despite this change, the week will still feature all the components of a traditional Spring Fling Week. Powderpuff football games will still be played during lunches, and the Spring Fling rally will take place on Friday, March 28.

The commission has been busy as of late to decide how the week will play out.

“We are in the process of possibly getting a group together to film a Spring Fling promo to announce the themes for each day,” junior Spring Fling commissioner Amanda Le said.

The individual themes for the weekdays are: ‘Merica Monday, Tropical Tuesday, Worldly Wednesday, Throwback Thursday and Falcon Friday, and the commission hopes these eccentric themes will maximize school spirit and participation.
