School Spirit Week

This week was Mullen school spirit week. Each day of the week there was something special happening.
Essa última semana era a semana do espírito do Mullen (escola da Alice). Cada dia da semana tinha uma coisa diferente.

Monday was the Jersey day and everybody could go to the school wearing their favorite athletic jersey. Alice didn’t want to wear her Gremio t-shirt!
Na segunda-feira os alunos, professores e funcionários podiam vestir a camiseta do seu time preferido. Quis que a Alice fosse com a camista do Grêmio, mas não teve jeito!

Tuesday was the Mullen wear and mismatched day. Everybody could wear something with the school symbol (a shamrock leaf – because the school was founded by an Irish man: George Mullen) and a mismatched wear.
Na terça-feira todos podiam vestir verde e usar a roupa bagunçada. Ou usar qualquer coisa com o símbolo da escola (uma folha trevo de três folhas - por que a escola foi fundada por um irlandês: George Mullen).

Alice wore her green shirt and socks of different pairs. She also had her hair a little mismatched. Of course my fancy girl could be mismatched but – never - ugly! Hehehe…
A Alice usou uma blusinha verde e uma meia de cada par. Também quis o cabelo UM POUCO desordenado. É claro que a minha patricinha pode fazer um pouco dessa agunça, mas não muito, por que feia, jamais! hehhehe....

Wednesday was the crazy hat day: they could use different hats. We forgot about it and didn’t improvise any hat. I felt sorry also because I forgot to take some pictures. There were so many different hats!
Na quarta-feira era o dia do chapéu maluco. Nós acabamos nos esquecendo de improvisar um chapéu maluco. Foi uma pena que também esqueci de pegar a máquina e tirar umas fotos. Tinha uns chapéus bem diferentes!

Thursday was the slipper day: each one should use theirs slippers during the classes. They also had some green popcorn.
Na quinta-feira era o dia da pantufa. Nesse dia também comeeram pipoca verde.

Friday was the dress-up day. Everybody should go to the school with their nicest clothes. It was a festive day because the school was celebrating the title of the School of Excellence. This means that the school demonstrated high levels of performance for their students, made adequate yearly progress (AYP) and was accredited by the state of Virginia.
Sexta-feira era dia de festa na escola e porisso todos deveriam ir com roupas de festa. O motivo da festa é que a escola foi homenageada por se classificar como uma das escolas de excelência do estado da Virgínia.

This is a picture of the cake that it was made to the school.
Aqui uma foto do bolo da festa.

This was Alice’s favorite spirit day! –hehehehe….
She wore her Spanish dress (a present from Alma (from Spain) and her classmate in Brazil). She was very cute and everybody loved her dress.
Este foi o dia preferido da Alice! por que será, né?
Ela usou o vestido que ganhou de presente da Alma (colega e amiga espanhola do Panamerican, em Porto Alegre). O vestido veio direto da Espanha!
Ela estava linda e todos elogiaram o vestido.

Spirits kisses,
