With basketball and wrestling seasons already underway, SGA is sponsoring a Spirit Week to get students and faculty excited about winter sports.

From Nov. 29 to Dec. 3, there will be a plethora of activities for students to participate in, including open mic nite and the semi-formal dance, just to name a few.

In addition to day and night events during spirit week, freebies will be given out as well.

A lot of the students are looking forward to being active during spirit week to boost school morale.

Sophomore Colin Anderson said he's going to participate in most of the activities to show his school spirit. Freshman Candice Young agreed that spirit and unity in a school are important and will take part in the events, especially pajama day.

Some of the students, such as Juniors Sha'Lace Gregg and Genessa Tetterton are excited about supporting the winter sports and being able to have fun at the same time. Other students aren't so energized.

Senior Kaleena McClendon says that she's here for the books, not the spirit; it's just like any other week to her. Junior Kentaya Rozier said that even though it's a good idea - if students don't participate it would flop.

With all the student body’s mixed emotions circling spirit week, it's probably best to end on a good note.

"If people get involved, it's great," Senior Andrea Cooper said. "School unity is the best way to show spirit."

Upcoming events leading up to the UNCP men’s basketball team versus Johnson and Wales University Dec. 4 at 4 p.m. will be:

Dec. 2: Day; Wacky Tacky Clothes. Night; Semi-Formal Dance from 10 p.m. until 1 a.m. at the UC.
