To get students pumped up for school events and homecoming this week, each dress up day’s theme was a famous pit  stop for an ultimate road trip. Students went from wearing iconic Mickey ears and Hawaiian shirts for their trip to Disney to cowboy hats and leather boots for the stop in Dallas, Texas.

  • Monday: Destination Disney

The hallways are filled with students trading pins, bright Hawaiian shirts, and Mickey ears. Students dress up as tacky tourists visiting Florida’s Disney World.

As a cosplayer, I thought it was really cool seeing everyone dress up because it brings a good community of people together.
