Attempting to raise spirits for the annual Sadies Dance, an entire week was dedicated to different events. However, little attention was paid to any of the matters. Whether it was having no school spirit or just forgetting, Spirit Week wasn’t the biggest hit.

Goodrich senior Tyler Owen attended the event and said, …
