Students at Maple Ridge Secondary spent a week celebrating school spirit.
Various events were held all week long, organized by the student council at MRSS, culminating on Friday with Spirit Fest 2024 Grade Wars, featuring a multitude of events including a bumper balls battle, a blind box relay, and then a tug of war.
During the week there was a dress like Adam Sandler day, soccer moms versus barbecue dads involving wardrobes of cargo shorts, aprons, leggings, and fun sunglasses; students dressed up like their teachers and vice versa; and they also dressed up like their celebrity crushes.
On May 31, hundreds of students and staff enjoyed the variety of delicious delights being offered from the food trucks on site and live entertainment by MRSS school bands: String theory, Under The Influence, At & T, Rat Shrapnel, and The Moment – before cheering for their favourite teams.
