The class who collects the most will win a Popsicle party from Student Council. 7th and 8th grade students are having a change war. The winner will earn a Popsicle party. -‐Students can also pay $2 to wear a hat on two different days – this Friday, May 1st and May 8th. This money will also be donated to ACS. The students will receive a different colored band when they give a donation of $1 for each day to wear their hat all day at school. Students can turn in money to their classroom teacher. -‐There will be Purple Ribbons for sale May 4th-‐6th. They will cost $1 and students will wear them in honor of a loved one that has or is battling cancer and we will write down their name to create a slide show to honor and celebrate their fight.
