If you're connected to any of the high schools around here, Spirit Week in Greenville is a big deal. Students raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for local causes through unique fundraisers, profit shares with local businesses, and maxed-out school spirit.

Festivities kicked off at two rival schools Friday, Sept. 11, and run through this Friday, Sept. 18. This Friday at their football game, it's not just the teams competing on the field. The students are also competing to see who can raise the most for their cause.
