Spirit Day

Please join ADJH this Thursday in acknowledging Spirit Day, an annual 2SLGBTQIA+ awareness day. Started in 2010 by Canadian teenager Brittany McMillan, it was initially created in response to a rash of widely publicized bullying-related suicides of gay school students in 2010. Observers of Spirit Day wear the color purple as a visible sign of support for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and against bullying during National Bullying Prevention Month.

Cross Country:
There will be a very quick meeting  for all cross country athletes who qualified for Provincials at lunch time today in room 204 with Mrs. Carter.
