A series of fun activities for students and staff, including themed dress-down days. are planned for Spirit Week next week — January 18-21, culminating with a “White-Out Day” on Friday, when ACS Varsity basketball teams will play Pilgrim Academy at home. Students dressed in all white at the games will get free admission.

Athletic Director Pam Hitchner, who has organized Spirit Week, wants to see every student and staff member show their school spirit by participating in the Spirit Week activities. She said students who are best dressed according to each day’s theme will be selected during lunch for prizes.

No ripped jeans or leggings as pants are allowed on any day. If you have elementary PE class on any of the days, you need to wear sneakers so you can participate in gym class. Any students choosing not to participate should come to school in their regular school uniform.
