Like many of you, the COLAtoday team has been working from home the past few weeks and we’re here to agree that the adjustment is huge. While we’re staying busy with work, we’re also looking to have a little fun. So, to help raise everyone’s socially-distanced spirits, COLAtoday is hosting a Quarantined Spirit Week.

Here’s how it’ll work:

Check the theme of the day. Don’t worry, we’ll remind you in each day’s newsletter and on our social media channels.

Each day, send in or share a photo with the day’s theme on your favorite social channel and be sure to tag us @colatoday and use the hashtag #colatoday.

Be on the lookout since we will be sharing your photos throughout the week.

Tag a friend to take part in the fun with us. The more the merrier, am I right?

The days:

Monday | Motivation Monday – How are you staying motivated at home? Show us your best tips + tricks to make the most out of your Monday, including workout gear, desk set-up, kiddo activities, ect. 🏋️‍♀️

Tuesday | Spirit Day – Calling all students (of any grade), alumni, teachers + sports fans: show your pride + sport an outfit representing your school or team. 🏈

Wednesday | #CarryOutWednesday - Order your favorite meal to-go today + share how good that first bite is. 🌯

Thursday | Tourist Day – Missing your favorite spot around Columbia? Show off your pics like you’re a tourist in the city. 📷

Friday | Furry Friday – Y’all love your pets and we love to see them so let your furry friends shine. 🐶

Give us your best, Cola, and don’t let your friends skip out on the fun. Use the buttons below to share spirit week with them.
