Spirit Week
Next Week is Spirit Week. The student body is encouraged to show their school spirit and foster a sense of community by unifying around these themes:
Monday, Nov 18 - Neon Day - wear your best neon outfit
Tuesday, Nov 19 - Teacher Twin Day - dress like your favorite teacher
Wednesday, Nov 20 - Wild West Day - wear flannel and/or boots
Thursday, Nov 21 - Rhyme w/out Reason - dress up with a partner or group - the point is that your dress rhymes but don’t necessarily connect (example: attorney and member of rock group Journey)
Friday, Nov 22 - Future Day - wear college, career, or military attire that may predict your future
Monday, Nov 25 - Favorite Character Day - dress as your favorite book, film, or show character
Tuesday, Nov 26 - Class Color day - freshmen and juniors wear white; sophomores and seniors wear blue
*All attire must be in compliance with the school dress code (see Handbook for details).
Reminder: Grade 9 Postural Screenings
We will be conducting mandatory postural screenings for all grade 9 students starting the week of November 18, 2024. This is not a diagnostic service but a screening that is a routine part of our health program aimed at identifying any potential postural issues. If your child has any unusual findings, you will be notified and advised to take your child to a physician for further evaluation. If you have any questions/concerns or do not want your child screened, please feel free to reach to our nurses at ahsnurses@attleboroschools.com.
Interact Club
This past week our AHS Interact Club was invited by the Attleboro Rotary Club to join their weekly meeting. Louisa Heri shared her experiences from RYLA- Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. The Rotary board members reached out and shared how truly impressed they were with this group of AHS students. Their message included, “ The students' presentation was well prepared, articulate, funny and far exceeded our expectations. We are all so impressed with the individuals representing your school.”
The Blue Pride Bistro will be open next week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
