School Spirit Week


Little Sun People is excited to announce its annual School Spirit Week from May 22nd to May 26th, 2023. The event is an opportunity for students to come together and celebrate their school pride, while also honoring their African heritage. School Spirit Week is a time for students to connect with their cultural roots, build lasting friendships, and create unforgettable memories.

It’s such a great week of fun, play, and connection that is a very special time in the Little Sun People school year. We have gotten to know one another, we have become friends, we understand something about being in community, and the best thing we learn is that friendship and community can be and is a fun and beautiful experience.

We welcome all LSP members and their families to join us in our School Spirit Week where each day has a special significance:

It’s the final day of school spirit week and it’s a day we call Theme Day where each class gets to choose a theme and everyone gets to dress up, act out, cook food, and do activity that all express how that class thinks about the chosen theme.  This is one of the favorite days of school Spirit week.
