Mrs. Aston emphasized that the event is not just about competition, but also about building a sense of culture within the school. “It builds school and classroom culture, allows teachers to build culture, and students to compete friendly,” Mrs. Aston said.
Taylor Langford, ‘25, the ASB President, shared a similar sentiment, expressing how Super Fan Friday brings the Redwood community together. She says, “I would definitely have to say that I think it’s so awesome, and it’s really just fun to see everyone come together to represent our school. I really do feel like when we have these SuperFan Fridays, it really brings unity to Redwood, and it shows.”
For Langford, the event is about more than just wearing a shirt—it’s about representing something larger. “It’s about the representation that you have for a school that you know you love,” she said.
Sophia Diaz, ‘26, the Spirit Coordinator, highlighted the ease with which students participate in the event.
“Super Fan Friday is a good event since it is easy to get many students to participate,” Diaz said.

Each Friday, as second period begins, classrooms across the campus become a sea of blue, filled with students proudly displaying their Redwood pride. The competition is fierce but friendly, with classes strategizing on how to maximize participation and show off their school spirit in creative ways.
Super Fan Friday is more than just a weekly event; it’s a tradition that strengthens the bonds between students, teachers, and the entire Redwood community.
