Red/White Week is a time honored tradition of duPont Manual High School. For many, it is the best week of the year. The themes are always up for debate, and while they have changed every year, three have always stayed the same: Doomsday, class theme day, and costume day.
As it stands right now, the themes for this Red/White Week are as follows:
Monday: Pajama Day
Tuesday: Dynamic Duo (Twin day)
Wednesday: Class Theme Day
Thursday: Dooms Day
Friday: School Spirit Day
Many upperclassmen are upset about breaking the tradition of wearing Halloween costumes to school. They have also voiced concerns about twin day not being practical, as everyone has different schedules, and no one will be with their "twin" for the majority of the day. They have asked that we change twin day back to costume day, as tradition stands.

keep costume day! it is so much fun to see everyone's variety and it keeps the diversity at manual!!
Too much of a tradition, I think. I know some people who already have their costumes made.
As an alumni, costume day was my favorite because of my unhealthy obsesison with Halloween. Twin day was always a pain because no one would do it with me or I would never have class or even lunch with my "twin". Keep costumes, lose twin day.
I've always loved Costume Day every year. It was always so much fun wearing a cool costume and it's even more interesting seeing what other people create (seeing as we're all so different and have such a diverse community in Manual). Yes, twin day is a lot of fun, but it's honestly really hard to find someone that you have classes with all day, so I think we should uphold our wonderful tradition of Costume Day. Nevertheless, I hope we still have a terrific Red/White Week :)
Bring back costume day instead of twin day! Twin day is pointless because you're not with the same people all day; especially us YPASers who change buildings constantly. Costumes are a better option and show more spirit.
Costume day!!!
Costume Day!!!!

Pajama day isn't really a theme that you can go 'all out' with, but costume day a student can wear an outrageous outfit or maybe a not so outrageous costume, but each student will be demonstrating their school spirit in their own way. Pajama day boxes students in and doesnt allow for this individual expression. Please take my thoughts and my clasmates thought into consideration and go Crimsons! PS: I have never been a huge fan of twin day, but really enjoyed America Day and from what I heard, Decades Day (dress in style from different decades, 60s, 70s, 80s etc) was a really good theme although i was in 8th grade when it last happened. This is just my opinion though, thank you for reading!
