Masuk students did not let the drag of a chilly Monday morning stop them from participating in the first day of the highly anticipated spirit week. Anything but a Backpack/Pajama Day proved popular as the hallways buzzed with students lugging their books in everything from baby carriages to laundry baskets.
Some students took to wheels, rolling along their books (and their friends) in wheelbarrows, wagons, and bikes, while others chose to bring in home staples; toting around mailboxes, garbage cans, and pots. Masuk junior, David Marciano, rode around in a mini pink motorcycle all day, no books to be seen, and junior Olivia Malewicki brought in a mailbox, with the intent of returning it after the day was through.
While the fun of this theme comes with its inherent practicality, some Masuk students brought it too far in the eyes of the administration. Due to its size, a paddle board was confiscated, and had to be docked in the hallways for the remainder of the day. Another student brought their younger sibling to hold their books, who was unfortunately escorted out of class by Officer Larson.
Anything but a backpack day is an exciting way to shake up the monotony of a school day, and add variety into a week of themes mostly pertaining to dress up. Students who experienced the theme during the 2021 spirit week were happy to welcome it back, and those new to the theme can only hope that it will be brought back in future.
