What an action-packed month it will be for our Scorpion Athletes! A huge round of applause goes out to our Soccer and Volleyball teams for their incredible effort and sportsmanship as they prepare for their end of season tournaments. We have seen phenomenal dedication, teamwork, and exciting competition on the courts and fields, and we are so proud of every athlete and coach for their hard work all season long. Additionally, a special shout-out to our students who traveled for the SAISA events this fall. They represented ACS with immense pride and spirit, making new friends and demonstrating outstanding athletic and cultural engagement throughout their trip. Seeing our students compete and connect on a global level truly highlights the best of our community.

As we celebrate our fall sports achievements, we are also thrilled to turn our attention to the arts. This week, we send our very best wishes to our talented theater students who are embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy! They will be participating in the prestigious International Schools Theatre Association (ISTA) Festival, collaborating with students from around the world in workshops, performances, and cultural explorations. This is a tremendous opportunity for them to develop their dramatic skills, broaden their global perspectives, and create lasting memories. We know they will be fantastic ambassadors for ACS and wish them safe travels and an inspiring festival experience.
