Adopted August 19, A.D., 2015
Article 1. Spirit Animals (Bear, Fox, and Fawn)
Sect. 1: Each member of the class has been designated their own personal spirit animal. Students may not change, trade, or disrespect the spirit animal that has been chosen for them. Bear, fox, and fawn have meticulously and intentionally selected your animal based on appearance, personality, and character. Each member must learn all of their fellow students’ spirit animals and only refer to them by that name. In order to learn our spirit animals, we have created lanyards that you must wear upon entering the class and return upon leaving. We ask that you remain true to the animal we have selected for you for the remainder of this class and hopefully for the rest of your life.
