It is “Spirit Week” at Astral Drive! All students and staff are encouraged to participate in the different theme days. Today - Tuesday is Spooky Socks day; Wednesday is Pink day to show our awareness for Breast Cancer; Thursday is Pajama Day and Friday is costume day. When planning your costume for school, please keep in mind masks are required, but the masks cannot be full face masks.

SOCKTOBER
It is officially SOCKTOBER and we are collecting new socks to donate to local shelters. As the weather is starting to turn cooler, the need for socks at shelters rise. Students and staff are encouraged to bring in new socks and put them in the bucket in their homeroom.

LUNCH TIME
Before students are dismissed for lunch, please remove all items off your desks so they can be cleaned during the lunch break.
