Students will have a variety of Olympic activities including floor hockey, beach ball volleyball, musical chairs in an Olympic ring, karaoke, a photo booth, crafts, and other party games based on Olympic sports. Students can dress up as competitors in their favorite winter or summer Olympic event (for example: ice skater, hockey player, gymnast, judo player, runner) or as a spectator from their favorite country!  All clothes need to follow the ATS dress code.

 

*Parents, please have children leave cell phones at home; any devices will be taken away. Please come to the door to drop off your children and leave your contact information; and please return promptly at 8pm to pick up your child. 

 

We need you to make this a success! Fourth and fifth grade parents, please volunteer at the event!
