October 15

This year's theme for Spirit Week is... THIS or THAT!

Students in all grade levels are invited to join in the fun. Please remember to choose costumes that reflect the culture, vision, and values of The Rock School. (Note: Leggings may only be worn under a skirt/dress and may not be worn as pants.)

Students who do not wish to participate should wear a normal school uniform.

🎨👟 Monday: Artist or Athlete? Channel your inner Picasso or Patrick Mahomes — whether it’s a famous musician, a street artist, or your favorite pro athlete, today’s your day to show your style!
👯‍♀️ Tuesday: Two or More Tuesday. Squad up! Grab a friend or form a group and dress up together. Think dynamic duos, meme squads, or character crews. The more the merrier — and the sillier, the better!
👑😵 Wednesday: Dressy or Messy? Time to take it to the extreme! Go full glam in a tux or dress, or show up like you just rolled out of bed and into a laundry pile. Fancy or funky — pick your path!
📻🚀 Thursday: The Past or the Future? Blast from the past or leap into the future? Whether you're rocking '70s disco, '90s grunge, or stepping out like you're from 2099 — today is all about time travel style!
🔴⚫️ Friday: Red or Black. Let’s end the week with a BANG! Wear anything and everything red or black and show off your school spirit. Shirts, hats, socks — go wild! Let’s paint the school in our colors just in time to kick off basketball season with The Jump.
