Thomas Greer ‘25, sporting his Bulldogs attire, waves and smiles at the crowd of students gathered in the auditorium celebrating Jersey Day. Meanwhile, Faith Johnson ‘28 and Debbie Taylor DEI and community service director pose to show off their fabulous Dallas Cowboys jerseys. In celebration of Homecoming Week, many students at faculty at NCS sported their jerseys on Wednesday. Students voted for the best dressed candidates in each grade. Johnson posed with Taylor for a picture shortly after winning the title of Best Dressed 9th Grader for her super stylish Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader outfit. “North Cross School takes spirit days very seriously,” SCA Advisor Susan Wenk said. North Cross School really does take spirit days seriously, almost everybody came into school sporting their favorite jersey. In fact, when asked on what day students dressed up the most, Ms. Dabney’s 9th grade World Literature class unanimously agreed that more students dressed up on Jersey Day than Decades or Duo Day. Students love dressing up for Spirit Week, and there is no doubt that NCS students do spirit days really well.
