Palladini’s Paramedics. Jaidyn Palladini, Mountain Echo newspaper’s homecoming candidate, prepares for the games with her team.

Each year, as part of the Homecoming celebration, each day of the week receives a special theme to encourage students to dress the part and show school spirit.

Monday: Mismatch Monday 

Tuesday: T – Birds v.s. Pink Ladies 

Wednesday: Inside Out Clash 

Thursday: PJ’s 

Friday: Roaring into royalty 

“This year’s spirit week is supposed to shake it up and give everyone a chance to show their school spirit,” Homecoming advertisement manager Tristan Sunderland-Ebersole said. “I really think people are going to have [school spirit]  with them this year.”

My name is Madison Aboud and I am a sophomore at AAHS. This is my second year on Mountain Echo staff and my first year as an Associate Editor. In Jr. high, I was a reporter on the AAJHS Livewire. In my free time, you can find me reading or singing along to my favorite show-tunes. I’ve always had a passion for writing. My ultimate goal after high school is to become a professional journalist. Outside of Mountain Echo, I am in band, chorus, vocal ensemble, student council and Friends of Rachel. I strive to make sure students of AAHS are finding out everything they need to know within a timely manner. I can’t wait for another great year!

Ciao! This is my third year reporting for the Mountain Echo. I’m very excited to be a part of the staff this year as a junior! I’ve always been passionate about writing, and I can’t wait to help report on school and community events this year. In my free time, you might find me crocheting, reading, playing the violin or working on math puzzles. I speak both English and German fluently. This is one of my favorite quotes: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi
