REXBURG— BYU-Idaho students and faculty might find blue pancakes and brownies on campus next week due to an abundance of school spirit.

Casey Cruz, a student on the Spirit Events Council at BYU-Idaho is helping to organize Spirit Week, which runs from October 7 thru 12.

Spirit Week includes several activities, with each day having a theme. Blue treats will be distributed on campus starting Monday. The theme for Monday is Service Day, Tuesday is Legacy Day, Wednesday is True Blue Day, Thursday is Mighty Oaks Day, Friday is Founders Day and Saturday is Spirit Day.

“What’s great about Spirit Week is that most of it is free, and the things that are ticketed are very affordable for students and families here in the area,” Cruz said in an interview with BYU-Idaho Radio.

Some highlights include a “Helping Hands Service Night”, a rodeo at the Madison County Fairgrounds, a torch lighting ceremony, a parade and a color fun run.

The school is also introducing a student-led film festival this year, where students, school employees and alumni can enter films into the festival. The festival will be on Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Paramount 5 theater. While the film submission deadline has passed, people can still reserve a seat at the theater here.

Cruz, who started out getting involved on campus as a volunteer, said the Spirit Week activities still need volunteers. She said volunteering helped her realize how much she loved event planning.

“There’s so many volunteer opportunities. We can’t do this without volunteers. It’s a great opportunity if you’re interested in event planning or just wanting to get out of your comfort zone and try something new on campus,” Cruz said in the interview.

She said the best way to sign up to be a volunteer is to email spiritweek@byui.edu. You can also sign up to be on the Blue Crew through the school’s volunteer form.
