Pep Rally & Spirit Week 

Mari

AST school spirit circulated campus in November. As ABSH basketball players prepared themselves for the tournament, other students participated in spirit week to cheer them on. 

Spirit Week began on Monday, November 6, with basketball hoops stationed outside the school cafeteria. Students enjoyed playing against each other at lunch time. On other days, students dressed up. Tuesday was “Adam Sandler day,” when students dressed up as the famous celebrity. His paparazzi pictures have been celebrated by people who find his baggy clothes and sneakers funny, and students mimicked that look. On Wednesday, students could wear their favorite sports jerseys. The next day was a comfy day, when students wore pajamas and brought plushies to school. On Friday, there was a “Dunk-A-Player” game when students who made baskets could “dunk” players with buckets of water. On Monday, November 13, students wrote good-luck notes to the players, and on Tuesday, there was face-painting.

Tuesday, November 14, was Pep-Rally day! Students, athletes, and teachers enjoyed performances and played friendly games. The pep rally began with the athletes’ entrance and then a performance by the cheerleaders. There was also a goofy relay race and a students-versus-teachers basketball game. 

This was the first pep rally of the 2023/24 school year.
