The PTO is hosting a bake sale during parent/teacher conferences! If you are willing to participate and provide baked goods, please follow these guidelines: Please bring something that does not need to be refrigerated. Please package treats the way they will be sold (for example, 4 cookies in a small Ziploc bag). Please consider listing ingredients on a paper that can be displayed with the treats for allergy purposes. Any amount of treats is welcome and appreciated!
Please bring your treats on Tuesday, October 6, or at the latest Wednesday morning, October 7. Thank you to everyone who is willing to help us out!

π Dupont at the ACHS Homecoming Parade π
Saturday, October 24th
Pre-parade staging: 64th & Olive and 64th & Oneida at 8:30 a.m.
Look for the Dupont staging flag. We have been on the west side of the park the last couple of years. You can park in the neighborhood and walk to the meeting spot. Wear any purple or black shirt β it does not have to be a Dupont shirt! Parents must stay with students during the parade route. Signs, pom-poms, and noisemakers will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own. Children can ride a bike or scooter.
Our goal is to show the MOST school spirit, so decorations are encouraged on bikes, scooters, strollers, or wagons! π Parade Route
The parade will start at 64th & Olive St. and head north on Olive St. to 70th Avenue.
At 70th Ave., the parade will turn right, then turn left back onto Olive St. to 72nd Ave.
At 72nd Ave., the parade will turn right and continue on 72nd Avenue to Adams City High School.
The parade will end in the high school parking lot. It is helpful to help one another get back to our cars in the neighborhood. If walking in the parade isn't for you, consider watching from the street side and cheering us on as we walk by!
