Our St. Dominic community may not be together due to the coronavirus, but our Crusader pride continues to live on. Last week, SDHS students and faculty participated in a virtual spirit week on Twitter.
Orchestrated by Literature teacher Mrs. Holden-Nims and her Yearbook class, the virtual spirit week was a huge hit! Twitter feeds were overflowing as students and teachers posted their spirit week pictures every day according to the daily theme.
To hype up the week even more, everyone had the option of sending in their photos to be considered for the yearbook.
Check out below what some of our Crusader family shared on Twitter for the 2020 Virtual Spirit Week!
