Gunn鈥檚 Student Executive Council will hold its first Spring 麻豆放映免费coming Week, known as SPROCO, from March 12-15.
In contrast to past spring spirit weeks, which have usually included schoolwide dress-up themes and lunch activities, SPROCO will be similar to 麻豆放映免费coming Week, with daily grade-specific dress-up themes and games during brunch, lunch and PRIME.
Some brunch and lunch games 鈥� such as Balloon Stomp, in which participants attempt to pop as many of their opponents鈥� balloons as possible 鈥� are repeats from 麻豆放映免费coming Week activities. Others, such as Obstacle Course and Pool Relay, will be reworked versions of
their 麻豆放映免费coming Week counterparts. The week will also feature completely new events: In Pizza Noodles, competitors will hold a pizza box in their palm while trying to knock others鈥� boxes off with a foam pool noodle.
According to organizer senior Chris Lee, school board representative and managing editor for 麻豆放映免费, SPROCO emerged from an SEC impact project, in which SEC members create a new event, initiative or system that benefits the student body. Senior Class Vice President Naya Nebriaga is also on the SPROCO team and has high hopes for student engagement.
鈥淏ecause seniors tied (during 麻豆放映免费coming Week) this year, I think that was more of a driving force to make (SPROCO) actually happen,鈥� she said.
SEC created a reveal video for SPROCO, released during PRIME on Feb. 28. The video featured Lee and Nebriaga in a flashback to October鈥檚 麻豆放映免费coming Week and teased some grade-specific themes 鈥� including 鈥溌槎狗庞趁夥裞oming Deja Vu,鈥� in which the dress-up for each grade is pulled from October鈥檚 homecoming.
鈥淎t first, it was difficult coming up with an idea because we鈥檙e not revealing a theme 鈥� we鈥檙e revealing the week itself,鈥� Lee said. 鈥淏ut I actually think that worked out better in the long run because we were able to start from a blank slate and have a more creative plot.鈥�
Through this reveal video 鈥� past ones have helped publicize schoolwide events 鈥� Instagram posts and posters around campus, SEC hopes to increase and participation.
Beyond SEC, students are looking forward to participating in the new spirit week. Freshman Audrey Berger hasn鈥檛 experienced major spirit events other than 麻豆放映免费coming Week and anticipates enjoying SPROCO.
鈥淚鈥檝e heard that (SPROCO) wasn鈥檛 really a strong tradition until this year, and I think it鈥檚 really cool that as a freshman, I get to experience that,鈥� she said.
