Sycamore Glen’s Spirit Week
Bringing Back School Spirit
The concept of “Spirit Week” is one that many of us remember fondly from our school days—a time when we would dress up according to various themes and participate in spirited activities. At Sycamore Glen, we decided to revive this nostalgic event, allowing our residents and staff to relive those joyous moments. The week featured five different dress-up themes, each designed to encourage creativity and participation.
The themes for Sycamore Spirit Week included:
- Sports/Jersey Day – Residents and staff donned their favorite sports team jerseys, showcasing their team spirit and sparking friendly rivalries.
- Tie Dye Day – A burst of colors filled Sycamore Glen as everyone wore their brightest and most creative tie-dye outfits, spreading a vibrant and cheerful atmosphere.
- Pajama Day – Comfort was the theme of the day, with residents and staff lounging in their coziest pajamas, creating a relaxed and homely feel.
- Beach/Tourist Day – Hawaiian shirts, sun hats, and sunglasses were the order of the day, transforming Sycamore Glen into a beachside paradise.
- USA Day – Patriotism was on full display with red, white, and blue outfits, celebrating the pride we all have for our country.

The residents at Sycamore Glen wholeheartedly embraced Spirit Week, and the participation from both residents and staff was incredible. Each day brought new opportunities for laughter and bonding, with everyone enjoying the chance to dress up and showcase their personalities. The event was not just about the costumes; it was about the sense of community and joy that these activities fostered.
Laughter echoed through our halls as residents reminisced about their school days and shared stories related to each theme. The sense of camaraderie and togetherness was palpable, reminding everyone that Sycamore Glen is more than just a place to live—it’s a family.
