One of the most exciting and anticipated times of the year at Regina has finally arrived, Catholic Schools and Spirit Week! Every year the Regina Student Council determines the theme for Spirit Week and this year the theme was Disney Channel Original Movies. After much planning, every class was assigned their own Disney Channel Original Movie.

Class DCOMS:

Freshman: Cloud 9,

Sophomores: 16 Wishes, Juniors: Teen Beach Movie, Seniors: High School Musical 3

On the afternoon of Saturday, January 28th, the school halls were full of Regina students ready to make their class themes a reality. The Freshman were prepared to transform their hallway into a ski mount by using blue fairy lights, fluffy white fabrics to mimic snow slopes, glistening snowflakes, and the hall wouldn’t have been complete without snowboards.. The Sophomores stayed true to a pink theme and used birthday balloons, birthday messages, golden ribbons, cake cutouts, and they even went as far as wrapping water fountains to appear as birthday presents. The Sophomores also created their own Sweet 16 themed photo booth in their hall. The Juniors were on theme with a bikers versus surfers hall. The beach side was covered with beach balls, floral leis, tiki lights, palm trees, and beach towels hanging from the ceiling. The biker portion was filled with motorcycle balloons, checkered flags, bandannas, and black and red hanging stars and paper cutouts. The Juniors even decorated the middle of their hall as a restaurant complete with a sign and even a life size cutout of the lead character Brady. Finally, the Seniors went all out for their High School Musical 3: Senior Year theme covering their hallway with basketballs, streamers, music notes, and a red carpet themed backdrop. The seniors were wise to add a hot pink photo booth as an homage to the fabulous Sharpay Evans, the iconic diva from the film. After about three hours of hard work, all of the hallways came together and every student who came together to decorate the halls was seen laughing, smiling with friends, and getting in the mood for a week of fun. Spirit Week decorating is always the perfect time for Regina students to come together and enjoy the presence of one another; plus it helps that the efforts of the Regina student body are fulfilled by the beauty that resonates through the halls.
