Spirit Week is an annual tradition where all the students and staff come together to share their enthusiasm for Gateway Academy. This year it took place during October 1 - October 5. Each day of the week had a special theme. On Monday, everyone dressed in camouflage in honor of the soldiers protecting our country. Each grade was also given a designated location to participate in a prayer walk.

On Tuesday, everyone dressed up as a character from a book. Even the teachers got involved. The middle school teachers were various characters from Stephanie Tolan's novel Surviving the Applewhites. Mrs. Swartout also included her baby daughter Kayla (a member of Gateway's daycare) by dressing her as a lamb while she was Mary.

On Wednesday, there was a sea of red, white, and blue out in the parking lot during morning line-up. The skirts on the girls and the ties on the boys were perfect attire for that day's chapel service.
The following day was meant for jerseys and sports uniforms. Students could proudly show off the sports they participated in or the teams they supported.

The final day was set aside for the school colors. It showed the unity of the school. We look forward to enjoying this week again next year!
