Palms Pride & Spirit Week

Palms Middle School logoEvery Friday is Spirit Day. Palms students are encouraged to wear green and white, or wear a Palms-logo T-shirt or sweatshirt, to show your school spirit.

Palms sweatshirts can be purchased on Back-to-School Night and at other school events.

Spirit Week is held one week in each semester. Students show their school spirit by dressing up or participating in special activities. Spirit Weeks are organized by Leadership.

Check the School Calendar for the dates of Spirit Weeks. Sometimes Spirit Week will be shorter than a full week, for example when it's Thanksgiving week or the week of Veteran's Day.
