From Tuesday, October 14, to Friday, October 17, Syosset High School was filled with spirit. From USA colors to pajamas, Spirit Week showcased the best of our school spirit while also supporting a meaningful cause and getting ready for Homecoming weekend.
Party in the USA Day started the week off on Tuesday and brought the energy and spirit that would last throughout the week.
Wednesday brought a wave of comfort and coziness with Pajama Day. The day also featured the annual Walk-a-thon, where students walked around the track and back field to raise money for Jay Asparro’s Ann Asparro Project, an organization that supports caregivers of patients affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

“The Walk-a-thon really meant a lot to me,” said junior Zaina Ahmad. “I love being able to support the cause and help those whose loved ones have been affected.”
On Thursday, creativity was evident with Movie Character Day. From superheroes to Disney characters, the hallways were filled with characters from all sorts of genres. There was also a Health Fair in the gym that taught students about all types of health through interactive activities and booths.
The week wrapped up on Friday with School Colors Day, as well as all of our sports teams ready for the much-anticipated pep rally. With amazing performances from the cheer team and kickline team, the turf was filled with bursting energy and excitement for the homecoming game later that night.
“Pep rally is my favorite day of the year,” said senior Hannah Rivner. “I love being able to stand with the cross country team and support all of the other amazing teams that Syosset has.”
That marked the end of Spirit Week 2025, which presented the high school’s togetherness, creativity, and the importance of giving back. From students walking for a cause to cheering in the stands, the week proved once again that our school spirit is stronger than ever.
