Stuck in between winter break and ski week, ASB students report high levels of tiredness and low levels of motivation. Fortunately though, February’s festivities will surely cause a spike of joy in the student population. Read on for exciting news on Spotlight Productions, current fundraisers, and StuCo’s upcoming events!
Bringing Down the House (Points)
All Houses are now on the board! Artemis reigns supreme with 400 points, a stark contrast to their underwhelming efforts from the year past; the house racked up points thanks to the success of Artemis representatives at the 2nd Annual Spelling Bee. Poseidon follows in second after a successful food drive turnout. Finally, Apollo and Athena battle each other at the bottom of the pile.
Lights and Action! Spotlight’s “Greased Lightnin'”
Spotlight Productions prepares for the upcoming week of Greased Lightnin’ shows with around the clock rehearsals and final touches. With the Wednesday matinee sold out and the Friday finale selling out quickly, make sure to secure your seat while you still can! Tickets can also be bought for Thursday evening’s show.
StuCo Celebrations
Student Council launched a month of festivities on February 1st, surprising the entire high school with complimentary churros and chocolate. Students and staff alike can look forward to an exciting month of StuCo celebrations, with Candygrams for Valentine’s Day, as well as a Spirit Week lasting from the 13th to the 17th. Candygram sales are officially open, and can be bought directly through StuCo Representatives or via a Form. As for Spirit Week, days include Pajama Monday, Valentine’s Day Tuesday, Anything-But-a-Backpack Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Carnival Friday.
Student Body Fundraisers and Volunteer Work
Led by Poseidonian Pedro Murciano, a fundraiser to feed Barcelona’s hungry is currently occurring. Students are encouraged to bring in sandwich supplies including Bimbo bread, sliced deli ham, Iberian ham, cheese slice packs, and cans of tuna. Using the supplies raised, the fundraising team will make and deliver sandwiches to those in need. Join the initiative and bring in sandwich materials before February 3rd! Drop off is by Ms. Minu’s desk on the second floor.
