Spirit Week at Viewpoint is a cherished tradition that unites the entire school community. From our youngest TK students to seniors, this week-long series of events celebrates the fall sports season and provides an opportunity to show our Patriot Pride.

Throughout the week, Middle and Upper School students embraced Spirit Week with a variety of themed days. Upper School themes included Blackout Day, Jersey Day, Squad Day and Adam Sandler Day. Our Middle Schoolers participated with their own themes such as Pajama Day, Western Day, Wacky Wednesday, Sports Jersey Day. Both divisions concluded the week by proudly wearing their Class Colors.

On-campus activities included field games, poster-making, and a pie-eating contest. The week concluded with energetic pep rallies in the PFAC for Middle and Upper School. The Upper School pep rally was led by students part of the spirit group, The Navy, who helped set the mood and announced our Homecoming Court in ninth through twelfth grades. Both assemblies featured performances from our pep band, Viewpoint Dance Company, and Middle and Upper School cheerleaders.

Primary and Lower School students enjoyed VSSA-led Spirit Day activities, including a family poster decorating and pizza party with over 80 attendees at Juan Bautista de Anza Park, as well as celebrating Jersey Day with popsicle treats. Spirit Week concluded with a pep rally featuring a performance by the Primary and Lower School chorus and a visit from Upper School athletes. Our football team engaged the younger students by helping them try on shoulder pads and helmets before leading a fun-filled relay race. They also joined in a "roll the ball over the line" game in the gym, adding to the excitement.

"The most rewarding part is definitely seeing the kids’ faces light up and watching their excitement as they look up to the older students,” said Jenn Halpern, Spirit Chair for TK-12. “I really enjoy being on campus and experiencing it all through their eyes."

Up next is the Homecoming Football Game on Friday, November 1, at Calabasas High School vs. Brentwood School. We hope to see our whole community there to support our football team and be a part of this annual Viewpoint tradition.
