Tomorrow protends ominously... actually tonight does as well because it's a mischief night. My school plays our biggest rival this weekend. It's a big rivalry... HUGE! So huge, the entire town is going nuts.
As usual, the nights prior to the game, both sides attempt slink over to the opposing school to do some sort of damaging prank. If they're lucky, someone will paint the mascot. If that's not possible, they'll let loose on the rest of the popluation. Long story short, tonight and tomorrow, every kid out past 8pm will be rousted and no one will park on the street if they can help it. Tonight the janitorial staff is guarding our school instead of cleaning. Tomorrow night, the rest of the staff is holding a "BBQ" right next to our mascot statue.
Tomorrow is also spirit day. How crazy will it be? We had to warn students to be fully dressed - more than a couple planned to sport body paint while half naked. We'll also be having an assembly and the most spirited outfit wins a big prize. After school, HUGE community rally... fire may be involved. One other than the planned BBQ/protection detail.
One of the greatest thing about my school is it's traditions. There are dozens of sweet (almost twee) traditions. While I could do without the mischief nights, the rest of it is bound to be fun!
