School Spirit Is Necessity

School spirit is something which every school needs. School spirit, however, does not necessarily mean supporting a team at a game; it means doing well in everything you do. If you have a task like making posters or cleaning up, don't feel as though it isn't worth it, but do the job well and be proud of what you do.

The school itself does not gain as much as each individual participating in such an event, but it profits from the reputation that such individuals or groups give it
