To lead up to the pep rally on Friday, each day this week has a specific dress theme. Themes included “Marvel Monday,” “Twin Tuesday” and “Western Wednesday.” Tomorrow, students will wear ’80s inspired clothing for “Throwback Thursday,” and Local Ice will also be selling ice cream.
Students will also show their school spirit by sporting HW colors on Friday. Sophomores will wear red, juniors will wear white and seniors will wear black. Students can wear this year’s Fanatics shirt, which Fanatics sold today, to support the girl’s volleyball and field hockey players at their respective Senior Nights tomorrow.
