Prime Sirloin's spirit contest


Prime Sirloin in Norton has been encouraging local schools to display school spirit with a spirit box inside their restaurant.  The high schools which have been invited to participate in the spirit competition include John I. Burton, Eastside, Union, and Central. In Prime Sirloin,  there is one spirit box where customers get people to vote for their favorite schools.  In order to vote for their favorite school, they have to pick a colored paper and drop it in the box. John I. Burton's color is orange, Eastside's color is green, Union's color is blue, and Central's color is red. Customers that decide to come into Prime Sirloin are encouraged by the cashiers to vote. Prime Sirloin decided to host this contest to get everyone in the mood for football season. When a school wins the weekly competition, their cheerleaders get to come and decorate the windows in Prime Sirloin.

The spirit box competition starts on Sunday and ends a week later, on Saturday, with votes being tallied Saturday night. During the first week of the competition, a variety of people came in voting for all the different schools. When the week ended, the winner for that week was announced on Prime Sirloin's Facebook page, and John I. Burton won with 45 votes. John I. Burton's cheerleader, Alex C. and her coach Melissa Wharton, came later in the week and decorated the windows. They decorated the windows with poster boards and locker signs, creating a visual of Burton's school spirit!

Unfortunately, Burton lost the spirit box competition in weeks two and three.  However, this is week four of the competition, so Burton's Blog encourages everyone to go out for nice dinner and vote for John I. Burton.

The spirit box will be at Prime Sirloin all through football season. At the end of football season, the school with the most wins receives a trophy. Prime Sirloin is also providing a 10% discount to anyone who is wearing a shirt with any school logo on it. Please go and vote for Burton!
