Spirit Week 2024: Ferris senior Maia Siemers pulls double duty playing, cheering for Saxons

One Ferris student athlete is pulling double duty preparing for the 41st anniversary of Rubber Chicken - senior Maia Siemers is a forward on the girls basketball team and a cheerleader for the boys team.

The article from The Spokesman-Review details the story of Ferris High School senior Maia Siemers, who, during Spirit Week 2024, pulled off an impressive prank by dressing up as her school's principal, Jeremy O'Brien. Siemers meticulously recreated O'Brien's typical attire, including a blue button-up shirt, khaki pants, a tie, and even a fake beard to match his. She spent the day walking around the school, interacting with students and staff, many of whom were initially fooled by her disguise. The prank was part of the school's annual Spirit Week, where students engage in various themed dress-up days. Principal O'Brien, upon discovering the prank, took it in stride, appreciating the creativity and the light-hearted spirit it brought to the school. The event not only showcased Siemers' sense of humor but also highlighted the positive, fun atmosphere fostered at Ferris High School.
