Dear ACS Community,
I hope you had a restful and joyful Thanksgiving break. Today marks the start of one of the busiest seasons in the life of ACS. We have athletic competitions this week, and all the holiday activities are coming up in addition to the normal end-of-semester activities.
This week's special events will start tomorrow with a pep rally for the whole school at 10:40 AM. Then the "Calvert Cup" will start on Wednesday and run through Friday. Overlapping with these games will be the Middle School Friendship Games. They will start on Thursday and run through Saturday. Students who are not athletes will attend classes, but teachers may take students to support our teams when possible. Secondary school students should be advised that the times of classes will stay the same throughout the week, but there will be a special sequence of periods on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, the first of December, the Secondary School sequence of periods will be: 1, 8*, 7*, 3, 2**. On Friday, the second of December the Secondary School sequence of periods will be: 7, 8, 4*, 5*, 6*. The Elementary School sequence will not be altered. Additionally, AP student athletes will have some special instructions from their teachers. Finally, on Sunday, there will be a special event on campus entitled "cocinado por una causa". This event is put on by an external organization in support of charity.
As there are many other events approaching, reviewing a list of some of those events may be helpful.
